SR GN is correct. I've owned a slew of them. On the 86-87s which are the intercooled ones, you can't find the hydra boost brake parts. If you can, the booster alone is close to 2k. And, they break down an awful lot. We used to call em sensor eaters because as soon as you'd fix one or two sensors, three more would go. Fun to drive when they run but expensive and time consuming to own. Ride was decent. I would imagine that nowadays, you'd have to replace every bushing and replace the suspension and front end along with the rear bushings to get back the original ride. Replace the turbos oil return line every 20k religiously if you want your turbo to last.
