Shouldn't take much to get that bhp out of it, decent valve springs, suitable turbo inlet and management, gearbox and clutch may be the limiting factors.

I think I've got a focus RS t/body and elbow laying around if you're looking for one? Good luck with the build

It'll be a flier with 280bhp in a lightweight car like the fiesta, keep us posted on the build.

Only because I wasted time with trial and error with mine lol

I ended up have a zetec inlet modded for top feed injectors due too room, but I need bonnet spacers, I did this route as it was easier, you could use the inlet you have with a spacer plate (but it won't be perfect) so a modded HO or SO Inlet would be better
And with the tps plug changed too suit it works fine with the ofab too

Pm if you need mate and I will send my number

The turbo doesn't make sense mate, a Stage 2 T3 has a .36 turbine housing and a 50 trim compressor with a 360 degree thrust bearing.... if you have a .63 turbine housing then it's probably a T34 or was it a typo? lol
But either way for 280bhp you will need at least a Stage 3 T3 (.48/55) or a T34 variant.... if you do have a Stage 2 T3 then it's good for about 230-240bhp on a ZT.
