Recently I had the exact same thing happen to an '86 NA. Turned out to be a bad fuel pressure regulator.
In your case you should start with a thorough deflooding and compression test, then check the fuel pressure or just swap the regulator if you have another around.

1: do a compression test - this will tell you if your seals are all OK and not ready to shred you turbo on their way out the exhaust.
2: do the least expensive fixes first. my '88 T2 ran like crap till about 3500rpm when i first got it. I replaced the fuel filter and I sent out the fuel injectors to get them cleaned by http://www.witchhunter.com/ I got them back and the car ran ALOT better. (filter ~$35, cleaning all 4 injectors ~$50) from there check you FPR and if needed replace that.
3: good luck and keep us updated.
