one way or the other i am

right now i am tring to figure out how the heck you time this thing and set it

but right now i know it has a heck of alot more power it will get up there in speed real fast and on wet pavement the axx will pass you. but the ticking has to be a exhaust leak i pray i installed a boost gauge and i can only hit 5 psi at 3000 rpm. so i know something is not right some where wish i knew more about a darn diesel and could fix this easier, then being confused if i can get the smoking under control i am chunking the air box putting on a custom ram air and bigger exhaust and try to turn up the turbo for more boost at least 13 to 15 psi. 5 psi is like huh pissing in the wind aint worth crap.
