My new '86 SPG

Well I just aquired an 86 SPG that needs some help. First of all, When I start her up, The engine cranks up to about 1500 RPMs and then I have to give it gas to keep the Idle up or the engine dies. After about 30 seconds the idle holds and stays between 1000 and 2000 rpm's. Second, I am getting almost 0 reaction from the boost gauge, maybe just a little into the white sometimes. I have never driven a turbo before, but I notice a whirr from the right side of the car, right where the turbo is. I am hoping that the turbo is working fine, but I can't be sure. The last pet peave I am having is that the shifting is awkward when I am driving. It takes some jiggling to get it into gear, the tranny was JUST replaced with one that isnt of the same year and my mechanic just modified the shift rod but I think it could be somthing like a linkage. Not sure. Any help with any of my problems would be MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!
THANKS!
Luke
P.S. Any info on headliners and where to get them replaced would be great too!
