Dane,

Q--"I've come across a pickled, zero time Continental IO-550 engine. Can
this engine be affordably upgraded to a TSIO-550? In other words, could
new pistons, cylinders(?),  twin turbochargers and other related
accessories be installed at a reasonable cost to achieve a reliable
engine  - roughly equivalent to a zero time TSIO-550 purchased outright"?
A--It depends!  Where do you intend to purchase the additional parts for the 
conversion?  If you were given the IO-550 free and had to purchase the 
conversion parts from a TCM distributor you may break even.
Major Parts required(Dist. List):
Turbos($4766)
Turbo Controller($2600)
Wastegate($1435)
Exhaust($3550)
Intercoolers ($5240)
Pistons ($1219)
Oil Scavenge Pump ($3026)
Fuel Inj Kit ($3125)
Misc ($5-6K)
--------------------------
Total $25,000+

ERic--
