    2 degrees or 4 degrees by turning the injection pump 1/16"

    Just converted my n/a 7.3 to a factory ats turbo the conversion went well running good. The only thing was it felt a little restricted then i remembered the timing was at 9.0 btdc.

    7.3 idi factory turbo best way to seal up-pipe

    It looks like it may seal ok on its own. I have also heard of people using stove pipe cement. I have seen donuts as thin as 1/8” maybe that might do it
