I've seen this on an 02' it would go down the freeway at 70 but it took forever to get there and would only maintain 4-5K and any throttle it would drop off. new pump a year ago and it was all good ever since. Worst part was the guy had it to two other shops before. one put a new set of injectors in it and that didn't work and the second did a s366 turbo swap and sent it out he door.

got the one off the LMM. down to draining coolant so I can get to the 4 bolts that hold it in... on the LBZ engine

completely forgot about the cam gear slop plate.. when there isn't a crankshaft gear there to hold it.. that was a PITA to get off...

im told you "don't" have to pull the y -bridge and intake to get it out...
pulling the logs off and cleaning them as well.

cant a man just make some money?!? :rofl:

I try on every cp3 I change and have not succeeded with the y in place. I always get pissed and remove the y.

Pull the pump gear off it will just need 3/8" extra clearance..
And how you pull the y bridge with stock turbo blocking access to lower rear bolt idk either..

I pulled the lift pump or whatever is on the back of the cp3 off. It comes right out that way, but going back in assembled is a task but doable. Y bridge stayed in place.

Coolant lines on stock turbo get in the way.. My 4088 is up 1" and back about 3/4" where I can get my hand in to place the nuts back on the rear studs.
I got my LMM long block on a stand with now harnesse/fuel rails and stock turbo trying to picture what your saying.. Which what i do when the turbk isn't in thebway
