    Why would you advance the IP?

    Sadly the banks kit isn't made anymore so unless you get lucky and find a used one the turbo project involves alot of work. It'll be worth it in the end though! With regards to the dipstick, the 6.5 and 6.2 pans are the same oil fitting and angle, just the 6.5 pan has the fitting roughly .75"...

    Why would you advance the IP?

    This motor is actually a 6.5 optimizer so that’s why I went this route. But I don’t think it makes much of a difference.

    Why would you advance the IP?

    I believe you said your mileage was pretty terrible right? I feel like these motors are forgiving with timing so it still could've been off and caused your mileage to be poor. Personally I'd revert back to the factory marks with the new pump and go from there.
