Resistance Is Futile
Where are the turn signal resitors located on an SE? My right signal started doing the machine-gun-stuccato-rapid-blinkety-blink-blink.

It sounds like the flasher CPU has gone bad. It's located under the dash, up behind the fuse block. I've scanned the relevent portion of the diagram. You'll be able to locate it by the wire codes.
Never having opened one, I don't know if the Timer within the CPU is a chip or not, but I suspect it's just a simple circuit of capacitors and resistors. If you are familiar with soldering, you may be able to repair it.

is it a simple plug in resistor? A VAG (Volswagen/Audi Gruppen) resistor just pops out and snaps in, available in most auto parts stores...

Out of curiosity, and assuming it was a separate unit the size of a relay, I was going to pull mine ('84 SE) and see what's inside. But the CPU shown in the diagram is not a separate unit just for the flasher it's the main CPU, a relatively large box mounted above and behind the fuse box. The x-11 connector in the diagram above has 17 pins. (I had wondered why they would call a flasher unit a "CPU".)
It's going to be a pain to remove and I doubt you will find a plug-in resistor inside, but if all of the bulbs light up I don't know where else your problem could be.
