Looks fixable . Seriously though, just take those 2 turbo's, move them onto a GM platform and problem solved .
I haven't seen that much damage unless you count a top fuel drag car loosing EVERYTHING and having the bellhousing bounce all the way down the 1/4 mile at speeds over 200mph and launching off the track and up about 100 feet before leaving the path of the track and finding a nice spot to eventually stop. That was the worst.

WOW, that is a serious amount of damage!! Makes you wonder if the turbo's arent garbage as well. With as much metal as was flying round in the pan, wonder if they got hammerd with splinters.

Haven't seen that much damage since my 82 RS chucked a rod at 3500. The best part was where the #2 Main was still bolted to the block, but was no longer part of the block.. When it blew, I found the serpintine belt wadded up and sitting on the battery.

The pistons are late stock hyperuetectic ford, I have seen this before. Looks like an Incon turbo kit. The guy is probably devistated, when you consider that the typical wait for an incon kit is about 2 years after you plunk down your $5000 to $7000 (deending on kit size), then you spend about 1000 hours re engineering all the parts that were supposed to be "bolt in" on your kit in the basic and minimal instructions, without any tech support. When you are all done you cant get the boost on the undersized turbos above 10 PSI even with the wastegates disconnected (probably the way it was running here) unless you buy the kit thats supposed to make 800 HP and not the 600 hp kit. the incon 600 HP kit is worth about just under 400hp and the 800 hp kit is good for about 450-500hp. The good news is that they do make a chevy kit- FOR LS1's ONLY.
