Another timing question

I have a timing light however was not sure which way the degrees work.
I want to retard the timing because I'm doing a 6 port turbo and getting detonations at WOT or Boost.

No I don't currently have a wideband.
The seems to be running rich since 660cc injectors on stock computer.
At the time of detonation not sure what's going on so I'm rewiring the fuel pump to a rocker switch with a 10 amp fuse.

Yeah but it's all I have at the moment and besides it didn't change a thing.
The fuel pump is dark green so according to pictures it is the T2 fuel pump.

Here this should help. Make sure you put the timing light wire on leading 1 or 2 plug wire (it doesn't matter which one), and use the yellow mark on the eccentric shaft pulley to set your timing. yellow mark is for leading and the red is for trailing. Just do the leading.

Here is a list of what the car has.
I'm using S5 LIM and UIM with S4 hybrid turbo and S4 electronics.
Greddy BOV and AEM Tru Boost Controller with 3 in downpipe to straight pipe.
BAC is blocked off, TPS unplugged, OMP blocked off, IAT unplugged, N318 boost sensor, with 660cc Greddy injectors all around.
I took a peak at the fuel pump and it was dark green indicating that it is a T2 fuel pump.
I cut pin 1R, 2K, and 3G since I'm using the NA harness.
With the TPS plugged in the car won't even idle.
IAT is unplugged because the throttle body elbow insert for the sensor is enlarged since the previous owner was running Haltech.
Same situation where the boost gauge reads anything over 0 the car sputters and popps very loud

I ghetto rigged it to see if it would help anything however unsuccessful with the adjustment.
Here is a video of how I mounted the TPS if it helps.

Ok to correct the TPS issue I used my NA throttle body to the turbo UIM so I could have a proper functioning TPS adjustment screw.
The only issue I see now is the TPS adjustment screw is upside down and so is the idle adjustment.
Also the studs are too short so I used the ones off the NA UIM.
These are both minor obstacles and shouldn't be a problem when I put it all back together tomorrow.
Unfortunately it is dark outside and my neighbors will hate me if I try to adjust the TPS now and adjust the timing.

I need to lower my idle like RXspeed16 said.
I'm hoping with the NA throttle body it will be low enough.
I lined up the timing marks on the drive gear and body of the CAS and turned it counter clockwise to retard the timing.
