I don't have, nor have I ever had a Turbo, and I don't know if your location has too much traffic to do this test, but I'd try this to see whether it's wheel bearings, etc. OR something to do with motor--like the exhaust.
While you hear the noise, have the rolled down and turn off the engine (ONLY IF IT'S SAFE TO DO SO!). The brakes will be less effective and require more effort, as will the steering!
If your noise stops when the engine is off, then it is could RS's suggestion about that exhaust U-bolt--or something else engine-related.
If the noise continues, then wheel bearings COULD be the culprit. Or something caught in between the brake dustshield and a brake disc rotor, which happened to my '84 after traveling on some dirt roads.
Hope this helps!
