Don't know if there is a good way to test the turbo. But what you experienced is pretty much an indication the turbo impeller is stuck. I bought one 94 cde just like what you test drove last October (for $250 can you believe it?) I have it flat bed home because it won't run. After putting in a new battery, I started it and drove around the block with the exact sympom you have. The gage boost fine but there is no pick up. I had already determined to convert it to 5 speed the day I bought it. But it wasn't until I took the drive train apart and remove the turbo did I find the stuck impeller. About $800 to $1,000 and hours to many to count later, the 94 cde is a FPT turbo 5 speed. It is a lot of work. But It certainly is worth it to me.
