Just the cost in new timing chains and tensioners, pistons, gaskets, o rings, hardware and main and rod bearings is the price of a used engine, for my purpose is not worth it.

I've been noticing with these engines they seem to be failing when people start throwing big numbers at them. Usually due to lack of lubrication. If your running a turbo set up now, probably a good chance you could be starving your bottom end as well due to the extra oil usage in the turbo as the supercharger is internally lubricated by a sealed system. Might be worth modifying a oil pan to hold some extra oil.

Did you have any wear on your bearings or build up in your pan?

Good luck with the build, be interesting the see for sure.
JE Pistons and Sleeve was ordered and installed by Fonse Performance in NJ. You can call them for pricing! My car was tested for over a year now on stock block with lots of 0-140mph runs etc... I didn't see any problems yet! Crank shaft bearings and connecting rod bearings is made with good material and should hold good amount of power. About oil delivery, as you know I'm adapting 3.2FSI Oil pump for better oil pressure from 1k-4k rpms I should have 3.5 bar by 2000 rpms and UP … Those new variable oil pump with two oil pressure controls low and high is very scary form me, it might good for stock block but defiantly not good for build one that will be revving over 8k rpms.
