OK I have a ques about timing?

I am almost done getting all the stuff I need to turbocharge my n/a. But now comes tuning questions. What should I do with my timing advance or retard. I will be pushing no more than 10 psi and I will not use nitrous after the turbo. Any help would be greatly appriciated. thank you

I left mine stock and didn't have problems. But a number of things can effect this. Up until about 6 PSI, you don't need to worry much about timing. After that, the rule is 2 degrees per PSI.

Timing control with the stock ECU is a pain. If you want to control timing, you need a standalone.

What about a 1st gen locked diizy combined with a CDI box with a retard function?
