    Wastegate not opening?

    take the top screws off the top where you would change the spring and check the rubber for defects. also look at the housing for rough edges around. if its a knock off hks could be the reason its not working, is rough casting that tore the diaphram. the blow off valves have similar issues.

    +1 on that. also check the metal egr tube that goes to the intake aswell, might luck out as the tube gasket may be the problem.

    How much boost on a journal bearing turbo?

    hes on glue. from what i know the max psi on a turbo is based on the size of the compressor housing, and the size/angle of the compressor blades. a BB turbo will spool faster due to less static friction to overcome, but bearings have nothing to do with max boost

    Fat misfire. lots of smoke

    on ours they do, with thermal expnasion they losen over time, plus the weight of the turbo doesnt help, espcially if the sway brackets are missing. common to have the stud holes re-drilled and helicoiled on a rebuild so they grip better.

    Fat misfire. lots of smoke

    if the manifold is loose it will missfire, as fresh air will leak into the turbo and will give the O2 sensor a false read, which will casue rich conditions. is the smoke blue? or black?

    sbc in a MK3...

    the lt1 is more or less same block as a standard 350, tranny fit fine. internaly the motor is differet, but carbed motor mounts fit no problem, the stock lt1 mounts are different from a 350 in a truck o3 3rd gen fbody to fit the 4th gen subframe better, but bolt holes are same. manifolds...

    Huge amounts of coolant loss

    that was my issue. the rubber on the cap was missing so once it tried to presurize it would puke out. also did you replace the elbows of death yet? though could be peeing on the manifold
