Had the same prob with my '82 900t. But only a rubber hose to the gauge slipped (was too hard and old) away and let the pressure out. Some tape and later a new hose will fix it. >now i'm afraid the turbo is simply passing away... >(the car now has 244k km, which is about 153k miles.) >am i right, or could it be something else...?! Don't be affraid, if you didn't went too hard thr turbo must last longer. Mine had 270k km (only with synthetic oil!!) without blue smoking and full pressure. I sold the car due to other reasons...
