In over my head?

Hi I just bought a 1989 900 Turbo, and as one might expect it has a few problems. I had hoped most of them were related to a bad stereo installation. The first issues to address are low boost and no dash lights. I figured the idiot who "installed" the stereo might have grounded out the dash lights, but I pulled the stereo and put in the fuse (which was missing) with no affect. I noticed that the APC was on the same fuse as the dash lights?
The brake lights appear to work, cruise does not.
I may pull the vacuum line to the wastegate to see if I can get some more boost. Any guesses on the dash lights? The new fuse did not burn, and I do see 12v there with the key on. I jumpered around the dimmer (which is loose) without effect.
I had hoped to spend a couple hours on this car and then drive it, I'm hoping it's not going to be a time-sink, I have other project cars already. Thanks for any tips!
