throwing in the towel

well i just dont have the time to keep messing with my uppipe bolts right now and my work schedule is only going to get busier, so i want to get it to a mechanic that i turst. so i would like to know if i can make this thing driveable and what all NEEDS to go back in to do so.

I know the turbo will have to go back on so oil isnt spewing out the pedestal, is there anything else that is essential? and will it even be driveable without damaging anything?
