Saw a shop post this b58 they took out. Looking at the turbo it looks stock. How does this even happen to get holes in the block?

Maybe a Supra GTS 2023 MT, Kia Stonic GT, Mazda CX5 GT SP
It's thrown a rod OR "stuck a leg out of bed" as we used to say.

Any engine can throw a rod if the oil supply to the big end is compromised or the engine is over revved or it's FFSed regularly or the Money shift happens.

Not a Corvette.
Also, you have no way of knowing if that is a stock turbo or not from those photos.

Watch "I do cars" on youtube. For instance the one with the veloster 1.6.

There are lots of things that can cause a thrown rod beyond making power or a bad tune. Oil starvation is what causes 99% of them and is usually due to something dumb the owner or shop did.

Money shift 5-2 will do that. I've seen it first hand at a track
Engines don't like to be spun to 12k instantly
