what do you mean. Just get a new head gasket and new valve cover gasket set and new head bolts and put it all back together. Oh and make sure once you get the old head gasket off to sand down the face of the block and the head. But be careful with the head to not over sand any of it

yea, if you dont sand down the surface of the block and head it can cause coolant leak then you will have to do it all over again.. engine looks clean though

Sanding is not the word. Machine it!

It could possibly cost you almost 1k to have it machined ( If you take it to a crooked machine shop)...

No... more like 50 bucks. All it needs is to have the surface faced off

for the turbo, that depends on whether or not you want to upgrade, or go with just the stock turbo. If it were me, fixing something always means upgrade. You could go with a 16g, or just get another t25. There are plenty of people always selling those used or rebuilt
