turbo-manifold gasket (1990 SPG)

Hi folks. It's been awhile...
My '90 SPG has been running very well, except for a non-existent gasket between the turbo and manifold. It seems that one of the bolts loosened up and that was enough to shred the gasket. It's completely blown out. I think part of it is still kind of hanging there. I've been driving it for awhile like that with no problems, other than maybe a lack of boost (I only hit about 5 pounds of boost... not so good).
I had the car in for some unrelated exhaust work, and a well meaning mechanic attempted to tighten up the bolts. I think I'm dealing with at least one broken bolt, maybe two.
So, is this something that's worth tackling myself? Do I try to take the turbo and manifold off, or just whichever has the bolt stuck in it?
I'm guessing either way a trip to the machine shop is in order.
Thanks, as always!
