First gen turbo timing ?

What timing setting do you use @ 10lbs of boost. In first gear I can run the whole RPM range, in 2nd at 6k, it starts to misfire. I made an adjustment and it got a little better, but not completely.

Check out my website. I just updated it with my setup.

I think is 5psi= Retard timing 5 degrees
10psi= retard 10 degrees
and so on...........So it's basically 1degree per Pound of boost
Also make sure U have enough fuel pressure
I'm having the same problem and i think is my FPR
