send the turbo off to be reconditioned £200-400
New mains, big ends, possible grind the crank
oil pump refurb kit
Hone and new rings if lucky, or rebore and +0.5pistons
All new gaskets and seals
pissble have to back cut the inlet valves and new seats cut
Oh timing belt, roller, water pump too

So abotu another £800-1200 to do it properly.
