I have a 1993 eagle talon tsi that was smoking extravagantly and than died
on me. I started to take the engine apart and saw the timing belt was
torn and the spark plug wires were melted on the ends. How much would the
repair be to replace the torn gasket(s), timing belt and spark plug wires
so I can run again?

Smoking from where? The tailpipe or the engine compartment? If it was the
tailpipe, perhaps your timing belt or tensioner wore out and the belt jumped
on the gears. That would make it run poorly if at all.
If it was from the engine compartment, it is likely that something was
binding up and preventing the belt from turning, melting it from the
friction. Check that the camshaft and crankshaft are turning with no unusual
resistance, along with any associated timing pulleys.
Hopefully you did not overheat the motor because you could be in for some
real fun if that was the case.

TSi? You will also have bent valves if the belt slipped a couple of
teeth or broke.
