The pain will end when you sell the car... As for the turbo, obviously something went through it on the turbine side and wore it away. Could have been a chunk of something you left in it or something that fell in under install- small chunk of metal etc.

My original 14b on my old car looked like that and worse after about 160k miles of abuse... actually the turbo really spin thats how worn out it was.

Peices of valves do not really come off... but I guess anythings possible.

I would do a compression test just to make sure the cylinders are fine, and then find a new turbo to throw on. I would prolly buy something cheap like a 14b or maybe Toms t28 if its cheap... just in case there is something wrong with the engine.

Did you say that there was excessive shaft play when you took it off? Becuase if so, then maybe the wheel was hitting the housing and thats why it looks like that...
