Just looking for someone to come over and lend there expert opinion.  
Will give cash for time as long as they ain’t fucking useless and waste my time… Shouldn’t take long really 30min to an hour i would think

Details

- fresh motor swap
- couldn’t build boost, BOV kept opening causing everything to run rich, removed BOV and just capped everything off
- Went for a run, and it just feel flat on its face,
- now i have a miss fire at idle, plugs are blackish and i have white smoke and black smoke (from the miss fire).
- white smoke/steam came out of cycl 4 when checking plugs

like wtf did the headgasket just decide to go  
This shit sucks!!!
