The turbo is off at the moment and the only thing i can see wrong with it is one very small hairline crack on the wastegate seat, the penny valve is seating correctly with a nice round circle of exhaust gas on it.
I have had a helicoil done in the head and doing some rewiring.

Yep you got it again
I see, you going to ford fair?
Not rebuilding the turbo, no need as it's fine with the correct actuator

Great feature Matt, well done!!! 
All your hard work's paid off big time in a truly stunningly finished car... a great inspiration to those slow working, unmotivated people who are trying to finish theirs off!!!
A great end result...

When putting the car back together my brother and i noticed a water stain under No3 exhaust port, looked in the manifold and that was also water stained in No3.
Thought it best to take the head off and found No3 piston full of water/antifreeze
Headgasket shows no signs of being blown, but you can see cracks around the spark plug hole on the head.
