Repairs...how much?

Looking at another FD. The one I just went to see needs some work.

Estimated 90k miles on the car.

Needs:
Turbos Rebuilt
Intake Gaskets
Brake Fluid Leak found/repaired
Interior Refinished (it's a 1993...)
as well as a few other little things here and there...

What are the options on the turbo repairs? Estimates for these repairs?

Rebuilts might last 100mi or 50000mi. I think it costs $1000 minimum. No way to know since these turbos aren't very good for rebuilding. Better off buying a set of low-mileage used turbos for $500-800 and gambling the same game for much less money.

New turbos are your only guarantee, but they still run $2500-3500.
Intake gaskets are pretty cheap unless you mean the LIM gasket. That involves pulling the TB, UIM, turbos, and LIM. That's a lot of work for about $100 in gaskets.

Are you doing the labor yourself? I see 5-10 hours of labor already.
