Main thing I would look at is the rear shock towers for rust - especially the passenger side. You might be able to see something from inside the wheel well, but probably better to pull back the carpeting in the rear hatch area.
Usually would also check it's boosting properly (well into the red), but with the dodgy turbo, not sure how that might be affected. Just because the boost control valves are pretty fragile on these cars, and if they short out they can take the ECU with it - so you might be looking at a few hundred dollars in repairs there.
Other than that, just the usual - suspension, exhaust, tires, bushings etc.
