Looking back on the post on Nov4 by the previous owner, he said the turbo NEEDS a rebuild. Unless it was rebuilt between that time and the time you've purchased, either way it wasn't when the motor was swapped. I hope you weren't duped.
On the plus side (according to PO) new clutch, valve cover gasket, water pump and timing belt.
Maybe just pickup a new $300 turbo?

This might answer at least the boost problem. The rest is still questionable at best. But one thing at time...
Maybe pick up an ebay manifold with a new churrocharger

Nothing else to do til that gets put in and the wastegate gets wired shut to see if it builds boost

I wonder if the turbine is spinning fast enough to generate boost, or if the bearings are just roasted. My old EFR stopped boosting even though it spun by hand. Some fins where blown out and it went out of balance causing the shaft to bend slightly enough for some fins to crash into the housing creating a lot of drag.
What kind of turbo was it? t25 flange?

GPOPSHOP - Mitsubishi Rebuild Kits
Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - Information: - How to refurbish and replace a turbo - Some link I found
And this recent video from car passion channel, similar steps.
Maybe the youtube guy will chime in, he's around here somewhere
Edit* - And as noted in the video, mark where everything originally lines up. Make the mark before taking off the compressor wheel
