Besides all that, it was a good deal and has treated me very well. 150k, 10 psi daily, and still running stronger than ever.

you did two things wrong
1) you bought a car from ebay
2) you bought a car that was screwed with
you say you want it 100% stock... the reason most people are looking for stock cars is because, well, there aren't alot of shady things going on.
this guy obviously was tinkering with it more than a bit and i for one wouldn't think of buying it-- i wish you would have posted sooner, but since it is too late i hope that it all works out for you.
for all we know it could be running really well, and why throw out the turbo if it's in perfect running condition-- but be warned, you must look for anything thats wrong with the car.
good luck
