Default Fiesta turbo given a new life

Hi i use my fez for drag racing and occasional hillclimb event, engine was running 17psi of boost with some minor engine mods. It was running a kent cvh34b cam and a collins powerchip with beige injectors. Best ET 1/4mile was 13.2 seconds @ 112mph and 0-60 in 5.9 secs. Since i do all the work myself i have been able to spend some more on the parts. Here are a few pics:

Engine before:



Engine taken apart



I knew that there was something wrong as the engine was breathing heavily


Also the turbo was found to be busted :



New pistons and rods purchased and engine had to be cut oversize




Also a T34 turbo came along with a .48 housing
