760 Turbo won't run 700 1986

I obtained a 1986 760 Turbo wagon, 4 cyl., over the weekend. The car won't run (why I was able to get it). The engine will start and run for a short period of time, a matter of 20 - 30 seconds. If I attempt to increase the rpm's, the engine will begin to stall. Working the throttle will keep it running for a few seconds, 10 or so, but it will stop running. The gage shows boost pressure when I try to increase rpm's. I'm new to turbos and don't have any idea where to start. Can anybody give me some direction, where to start looking, what things to look for? Thank you.
Ron, Indiana
