New Head Bolts weren't fitted.

If they were changing out a turbo then I can’t understand why they would have taken of the camshaft cover, as that is the only way you can see the bolts. The bolts do not normally need changing.

Head wasn't skimmed.

If it’s flat then there is no need to skim, skimming for the sake of it is stupidity and means that they do not understand basic engineering.

There's an oil leak from the head to the block.

Big deal. Sounds like a/some camshaft seal/s are/is leaking, a simple enough repair to a trustworthy source.the camshaft seals may have been leaking before the repair or after, as I said they are not normally terminal issues

Cam shaft oil seams leaking.

Same as above.

Cam shaft closing plates missing.

Perhaps, poor attention to detail tbh but not terminal, the seal should be protected from road grime/dust, but perhaps they were not there before?

Radiator has a leak at the top left.

Could have occurred just recently, I don’t know why you can attribute this to the head gasket repair

The turbo manifold gasket hadn't been replaced and the bleed nipples were snapped off.

Bleed nipples?
