hi mate with the hand brake cable the only place i can think of for you being in Ireland is a site i think is called drift Ireland, someone on there mite be selling one, and with the turbo i really hope iam wrong but are you shore its not broken or the braided hoses around it are not bust, iam not the best on this mate but can you see oil leaks from the turbo

With the turbo, it could be the waste gate is not closing properly which is caused by a faulty or ceased actuator,

S14 cables should be the same as they use the same rear brakes, and are basically identical mechanically in every other way too, so worth a shot!

turbo could be boost pipe split or as Auss says wastegate on the turbo seized. I would prob take to a mechanic who knows about these things!
