On my 1990, I had the rubber elbow that connects to the turbocharger output fail. It developed a crack that would open up during boost. I had to take it off and carefully inspect it to find the problem. That spot receives quite a bit of heat from the exhaust and can fail after 16 years.
On my 1991, the elbow that goes to the throttle also cracked. The only thing that tipped me off on that one were the oil deposits sprayed around in that vicinity.
Neither of these pieces were cheap to buy new.
