Question Timing?

Just wondering what kind of timing i should be running on my 12a when i turbo it? I have a streetported motor and a 47 OER carb and 1 piece intake. Im going to be putting on a gt35r and running about 15 psi intercooled.

hmmmm i am not sure..i ran 22 degrees on my peri port..but thats NA....with locked vaccumm
for a turbo you surely needed it a bit more retarded...maybe 12 is good, but what about some way to control that ? would the advanced vaccum be wise here?

The timing I'm using on my 12AT highcompressor motor is pretty conservative and I'm still making really good power. I have a small turbo port myself. I'm probably using around 6BTDC at 13psi. It certainly is no slouch.
