Good Purchase?

I am going to look at an '87 Turbo on Friday.
Craigslist Ad Here
I have read the 'buying a surpa' thread and am going to throughly check for any unlisted problems.
My question is, if the turbo is not spooling, but he says the turbo is still good, what could that mean? He installed the engine himself, but cannot get the turbo to spool. Would that be him hooking up the engine wrong? Also, is the car still drivable even if the turbo isn't hooked up correctly? I am looking to buy my first Supra, and any information would be helpful. Thanks.
