you need an entire engine rebuild if you lost an apex seal. If you dont know what your doing i suggest you buy a reman or an engine from a shop. Installing is a huge task with the stock turbo system.
I would suggest taking it to a rotary shop and letting them do everything if you want your car to run right ever again.

Like XSTransAm Said you probally did damage the housings it take alot to go through tose seals if it is due to wear you have a worn housing that will need to be lapped and may be able to be used again, it you broke a seal which means you have a hell of alot of power or you did a big no no. something like running alchohol with gas or running with no coolant to get temps up to break the seal i am sure you have gouged your housing wich might be salvageable you will need to tear it all apart and get a dile indicator to mic it out. you should not have more than a couple of thousandths variation. we have lapped a few engines out her and ported them too it can be done get the super fine stones and take your time it is alot of work but if you get the Knowlege you can go through it and get it done. on also make sure that you get side and corner seals and a new oring kit for the engine when you do the apex seals if your opening it up change them all it will save money in the long run. hope i helped a little good luck
