block smoke under throttle, turn signals not working, ac on off light blinking, abs light 850 1995

I bought a 95 850 turbo wagon today for $ 900 but, it has some mechanical issues.

1) I have black smoke coming out of the tail pipe under heavy throttle. The boost gauge needle only goes th the begining of the white area. The car seems to cut back also like it is skipping. I had a similar problem in a 91 940 and it was a cracked turbo hose. Does this sound like it may be the same thing. If so wich turbo hose should i start with.

2) AC climate control light and recirculation light blinks when I first turn on the ac. The ac is barely cool.

3) The turn signals do not work. I can push the stalk to the left or right and nothing happens. It doesn't even make the clicking noise. Does this car have a flasher fuse or is it the turn signal switch.

$) Also the abs light is on. I know about the abs module problems in 97 and up
models. But what could it be in a 95.

I know this sounds like a lot of problems but, the car has 136 k miles on it and the body and interior are in pretty good shape.

Thanks
Dennis
