bad day for the corolla,Updated with PICS:caution broken parts!!

Well, I took the corolla and did not have the best day!! I put a new boost controller on it(and did it wrong)and didn't boost much for run #1. I ran a 12.9 :1
Fixed the boost controller issue and made 21lbs of boost BUT went 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,and then 3rd. I was beating the other car by over 2 tenth at the 1000' but lost by 2 tenth at the 1/4 and did like 86MPH :1 :1
Both runs my 60' time was 1.7ish so i decided to drop the slicks down to 8psi,they were all wrinkle walled up, too the line i went. Heated them up good,5,200RPM,let out the clutch and BANG ???
Looked at it today and i sheared off the output shaft of the trany. Pics to follow.
