Sorry for your bad luck, better include gauges in the new motor build-up
The gauges are a definite also will the motor be saveable if one or more of the pistons are metled to the cylinderwalls. I know it will have to be bored out but I would like to keep the block if possible. Also should I go to a larger turbo a 14 maybe?

Depends on how bad it is......sometimes if it is minor a block can be saved, but if you melted them up good then chances are you should just get a new one and be done with it.

There are tons of turbo options out there, you can get a modified HX-35 or and HX-40, or get BD's single turbo ( which can be upgraded to twins )....depends on if you are happy where you were or would like a tad bit more juice?
