smoking knocking motor with good turbo, right!

No such thing as a good turbo off a smoking knocking motor. Consider this: turbo bearings are one of the smallest bearings but see lots more heat and spin 100 times faster. I can guarantee that turbo is junk... meaning it would cost more to rebuild it than to buy a new one. In fact, if you could rebuild it youself I bet you might just save yourself $50 compared to a new one. Leave that car alone. I wouldn't even bother rebuilding that motor. You could certainly find cheaper motors than what a machine shop would charge you in labor just to fix it. Or what it would cost in parts. Not even the head is worth buying off that car.
