Rebuild that engine and keep going ahead.
I always say, "Who better to have an engine failure than someone who can rebuild it easily and learn from the failure what new parts or proceedures to use or avoid in the future."

Been a while since I have posted here, thanks so much for the kind comments
I have been running my new set up for around 76 hours (as recorded on the ECU) covered about 4500km and its been good. This second half of the year I have been concentrating on other things but plan to put a Race Brake set up on the car and run a little more turbo boost pressure (around 22psi) I have it on 18.5psi for around 40 hours use and have proven to myself (lol) that it is very reliable at this setting (~440bhp engine power). I have done in street mode (0-100kmh in 4.40 seconds) 12.42 seconds @ 122mph for 1320ft test (no roll out) when the car was at 1380kg (3042lb) weight (with 100lt fuel and driver).
Not sure if people here are interested? but I have dozens of VBOX power data logs showing things like turbine pressure, turbo speed, boost pressure, rear wheel power output, fuel pressure etc etc.
p.s. I need to ad the original engine was never "toast" despite what you may read on hater forums
I changed out the motor for a different specification of port & seal product to my own development. Any pics you may see or
apparent correspondence quoted/attributed to me is just 2nd, 3rd hand doctored rumor from (I must add)
well documented and proven trolls and haters. It is a shame some people have nothing better to do with their time
