So part of me feels like jacking it in and then part of me says keep going.

This might also be a good time to go for a forged engine build if I do decide to keep going.

I'm guessing a pipe has melted and burst.
From the filler cap it looks like I lost a lot of oil.

If it is just the turbo that has failed, I will need to figure out why so it doesn't happen again etc but I'll need to get it repaired.
It's a gt3076, where would be a good place to send it? I'm also thinking this could be a good time to upgrade it with a gtx billet wheel.

Universal turbos sound reasonably priced.

Plus, My ct26 blitz hybrid popped its turbine side oil seal and play was well within spec
