Plenty of info if you search, but...

 

What makes you think that you have "piston slap"? In 35 years of wrenching, I have NEVER run across a modern engine with true piston slap. (Sort of a pre-60's problem.) Likewise, boost is simple, as long as the pre-turbo exhaust doesn't leak badly, turbo is reasonably good, and the post-turbo exhaust isn't plugged.

 

Not the info/advice that you are looking for, but: If you can't sort out your current problems without it stressing you, then you will pull all of your hair out trying to do an EJnn conversion. Relax and breathe for a moment.
