That's a lot of work into a car at 85k miles. You might be able to buy a rebuilt turbo and have an indy install it at far less cost than $1800. That said this car seems to be a lot less reliable than most 9-5s have proven to be, maybe this is just a lemony one? If the engine was junked due to sludge that could be the cause of your other issues. With a new engine in there you might be able to get PCV #6, and (very) frequent oil changes from the get-go and then you shouldn't have so many problems in the future.
