was prob down to head gasket fail on the rover k series its off, mayo in the bearings and chocked coolant galleries = cooked turbo, they probably all have the same fate!!! Think the shaft is beyond repair as you can scrape your nail across the scores lol. may get away with the compressor wheel but new shaft with turbine is £100 ish and £32 for a rebuild kit, plus balance. its £195 for new core built and balanced good value me thinks. just the question is the blower worth it...
