turbo issues

Have a 1990 SPG wit 220k that is having some turbo issues. About a week ago, I started feeling a studder in the acceleration as the boost hit atmospheric pressure and often beyond. This lasted until yesterday, when I started the car, and the turbo gauge wouldn't move from atmospheric, no matter what I did, and the studder was minimal. Today, the needle was moving again, and the studder is only felt near the top end of the boost.
Is this more of SAAB flukiness or an indication of something more serious? Is turbo/APC going bad? No telltale sign of white smoke whatsoever.
If I wanted to, is it possible to disengage the turbo and still operate the vehicle? Am I doing damage to the engine driving it with this problem?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
