Have you been to see the car?
Does it run? Did the guy run the car at all after he found out the turbo was blown?
Even though your replacing the turbo (or planning on it), I'd check out the turbine blades to see if there is any damaged/broken/bent fins, if thats the case the turbo pulled something in, which could be a whole other issue...

Removing and re-installing a turbo is an easy process with the right tools and knowledge.
If your replacing it with another T25 or 14b, it's a bolt on affair without any headaches (unless you get some broken bolts, rusted parts, etc).
If you do end up getting the car, make sure you have EVERYTHING you need to install a new turbo.
When I suggested checking out the turbo when you go look at the car, I meant just popping the intake pipe off and trying to get a close look at the turbine for damage. Even checking it for excessive shaft play may help determine what's going on with the car.
Of course, you shouldn't let this issue alone stop you from inspecting the rest of the car and the problems that are common amongst 2gs.
If your unsure of anything, bring a camera along and snap some pictures and take some videos then post them here.
