Welcome,
I dont know about an electronic format manual, the ones I have are in French, but I have a spare paper one that is in English, its for a slightly earlier car, but covers the Turbo. Happy to investigate postage if you PM me a postcode, I dont want much for it...
The biggest differences are in the wiring and there are two major Turbo engine types (single or twin fuel regulators shows the difference), but Japanese versions are a bit different in fuelling (Usually have a cat and lambda, not fitted to European Turbos until right at the end of the run and seem to be differently arranged).
The manual set comes in a number of parts.
mechanical, bodywork(these are what I have as spare), wiring manual (this is year specific, 89/92 would be possibly two versions, a picture of the makes plate can help work out which), injection manual, engine (more a rebuild manual) , gearbox (rebuild again) , parts book, technical notes.
I think the radio is partly shared with an Espace and there are two versions (again), you'll have to wait until you get lucky on here, ebay or the French forums.
Although these have a "difficult, french" reputation, they are not that complex and buying from japan, rust wont be an issue from you (they don't use salt on the roads). Most of the regular running gear is shared with other Renaults so looking after them is not that hard, and the hard to get parts are being remanufactured. Its a good time to be a GTA owner from that perspective.
When you get it, some pictures would be great, but you'll get plenty of help on here.
