Not letting the turbo will cool off can cause the turbo to wear out prematurely, but it won't kill the rings or make your valve seals leak.
Ever notice when the light turns green and the car in front of you engulfs you in a cloud of oil smoke, it's almost guaranteed to be an 80s/early 90s Mopar? They had a lot of problems with that..
And the new parts won't necessarily break the old ones, but I can assure you they won't have any problems crapping out on their own. The alternator will go, or the clutch (I hope that car has a manual, Chrysler slushboxes are terrible!). A brake caliper might seize.. Or you'll try to get it aligned only to find that the front end is worn out. Trust me, I've owned a lot of fixer-uppers, and at that age anything and everything can break. A few hundred bucks here and there adds up fast, and in the end you still have an old rattletrap.
