...that's a hard one, very hard to tell, what and if anything got damaged.
Was it all in red for a while before you turned it off? Any smells, smoke (other than expected), anything else in terms of symptoms? Have you scanned codes with piwis2? The diag will tell you overheating details.
Water pump could be in play if damaged with heat (will be noisy, leaking, etc). Other hoses can start leaking if overheated. Then you have engine damage. Most of this you won't know until you repair the pipes. That's your step 1.
Then you visually check for obvious damage to components, step 2.
Then you check for vacuum in system. That's your step 3. Then you start and look for damage again.
That'd what I'd be doing anyway.
