So i blew my s5 n/a motor...

rear rotor, don't have a compression tester, but you can definitely tell it's toasted.

can somebody hook me up with details as how to go about replacing what needs to be replaced/how to do so?

like i'm fairly sure that if a seal goes, then there's a good possibility that the housing is gashed up quite a bit (keep in mind i drove it home after I blew it up, about 6 miles.)

it blew due to a weak OMP (lack of oil to seals), and the oil was low as well too.

any help is greatly appreciated

Depends on what seal went on you, and what the result was. If an apex seal was thrown out the exhaust port, the rear housing will be trash. At the minimum, you will need a full rebuild kit, and expect to spend around $1k if you rebuild it yourself.
