advice needed: Ga70 BLMVZ '88 GTEU

Hi all, first post so sorry if this is redundant in any way - I did a quick search but i'm on dialup so I thought I'd just post a newbie thread heh.
I have a 1988 GA70 BLMVZ 1G-GTEU twin turbo 2.0L 5 speed supra and I have 2 issues and need some advice.
I just got raped for over $700 having the timing belt changed and the oil changed as well as the air filter replaced. Brisbane Tuning & Turbocharging in W-Gabba did the work and my gdamn plastic skid plate fell off on the freeway because they tied the thing back on with zip ties - aparently the bolts were shorn off so they thought that was acceptable. Whatever.
Anyway, they say that the turbos are on the way out so I have to decide if I'm either going to replace or convert to a larger turbo. The performance of the vehicle is pretty dismal stock so I'm leaning towards just tidying it up and flogging it. The lifters also need doing (sounds like a bunch of marbles).
Questions:
1) Is it worth doing a turbo upgrade?
2) How much denero will I plan on spending to get the lifters done?
I'd hate to seel the car as is because it's just going to cause whoever buys it a bunch of heartache. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
