Did I waste time and money

Okay I need some more advice here.I recently replaced a turbo on my truck to fix a problem.I had no boost.I took the turbo apart to clean up the insides.When I got it apart the fingers were stuck and rusty.The unison ring was froze up .The unison ring was worn in the slot where the fingers rode and the unison ring had wear in the slot where the VGT lever rides.The VGT lever was rough turning in the turbo and the impeller had been hit and taken a piece off the impeller.Was this a waste of my time and money? I tried cleaning but there was so much wrong with the exhaust side of the turbo.I need a piece f mind and need some ammo if the boss questions what I did.Thanks so much

No waste. There is a center assembly that you can purchase, but the price difference isnt worth it.
