It really sounds like its out of time to me. My car did the same things yours is when I put my motor back in. And I had my timing off by like 1 tooth. I had the smoke, metallic sound in the head, and around 8-10 hg on the boost gauge. Take the viewing cover off the cam gears and have someone turn the crank pulley w/a breaker bar, watch the cam gears for the 2 timing marks. They should line up straight with one another and per perpindicular (sp ?) to the ground. I'll bet this is your problem. Good luck
Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, your gonna get a good look at mine.
