Turbo Troubles?

My 1985 16v 900T, 240k miles had been smoking/burning oil. Especially at long idles and when accelerating after a stop. Friday it started smoking constantly, then after about 5 miles it started bucking a lttle and REALLY smoking. Idrove it home with people yelling at me. It had no power, it wouldn't accelerate.
Luckily, or not?, I ordered a new cartridge from Turbo city last week, and a clutch and stuff from SaabDirect (I think).
My question is, when I took the turbo out, there wasn't that much oil in the output lines. The intercooler had a few ounces of oil in it, and all the rubber couplings had oil in them, but I was expecting LOTs of oil. Is/was my turbo OK and the real culprit in the head?
Any input would be appreciated before I tear open the wrapper on the cartridge.
Thanks
Bill A
