Default found the problem

when my engine blew i recently found out it spun a couple rod bearings and i cant even find 1/2 of one of them lol
now for the question.. what all should i replace? and any reccommended, inexpensive sites that i could get parts? since the engine in this one is no good, what do you guys think of me finding a cheap 2.0 turbo at the junkyard(the whole car) an swapping it in? the whole car so i have everything i need..

Replace the motor. Much easier and more reliable

I have also thought about swapping in a whole turbo car in my car. Everyone told me that it would be too hard and too much trouble, that I should just buy a turbo car. I thought about just doing that, but I'm thinking about swapping again. I would love to have a project like that. So if you do plan on swapping it, let me know how it goes and everything so I can get a heads up. Best of luck to you if you decide to do it. But if not, I would agree to get a new engine for the car instead of trying to fix it.
