It is very likely the stock connecting rods are bent. It happens pretty easily with larger turbos and poor engine management. They would only be good for around 10psi or less on that large turbo with improper timing control.
As the local TV news teaser goes, "Your children may already be dead. Film at eleven."

We had a thread about this car on GRM.
Hopefully OP didn't pay more than scrap price.
Part that bitch out and scrap it.
