It was mine... and I loved it, but it wasn't what you'd call "lo-fi."
I won't pretend to know what a good emulator for Turbosynth is, but I do loves me some gritty guitar. I personally think you probably won't do much better than the Fuzz Factory (I just got one myself) but I'll share some of my favorite guitar destroyers. NIN did a lot of stuff with Adrian Belew and he uses Foxx Fuzzes and recently the Peppermint Fuzz.
I can't recommend the Kemper Profiling Amp enough. As well as being able to shape-shift into any guitar amp or similar device, it comes with a really good complement of effects and the fuzzes are beautiful and the waveshapers and bit reducers are fantastic. The filters come from the man responsible for The Virus, so you already know their pedigree. All effects can go before or after the amp model, so if you want gnarly, a fuzz and/or filter post cab is going to blow your mind.
It doesn't do everything though... so I complement it with an HD500 and it's pretty damn good itself. Excellent Korg x-911 guitar synth emulation. For extra bonus I use guitar amps as fuzz boxes before a Kemper Profile.
and ZVEX makes a lot of crazy stuff that probably should live in my studio... but there's only so much room...
But that's not ITB. For ITB you should definitively own anything from Ohmforce but especially Ohmicide:Melohman. Fab Filter's Saturn is outstanding too and though I'm currently pissed at them, I have to still recommend Audio Damage's Kominat Dva.
