Convertible problems

I just bought a 1987 900 convertible this weekend with a little work to do. Oil, oilfilter, spark plugs and airfilter have been changed as well as the timing has been set from 25 degrees (!) to 16. Can somebody tell me how to solve the following problems?
1. The power steering is not working, although the belt is OK as well as the fluide level. Under the car the steering house is wet though.
2. The car is holding in when pushing the gas pedal. Also the boost is dropping from 50% orange to 25% orange. So just as it is beginning to accelerate the fun is over.
3. After a cold start the engine makes about 900 RPM, a normal warm engine 850 RPM as it should, but when the engine is hot (city traffic) I am lucky to reach 600 RPM or the engine falls down entirely. I changed the air shift (what is it called?) but the RPM is too high then (the Bosch number is also different)
Anybody experience with these problems?
