turbos and timing

[bivery]

I was cruizin in the lx-t (94') and the car though running pretty fast, was not were i thought it should be performance wise especially at low end. So i looked at the timing (distributor timing) and it was all the way retarded. I advanced the timing til it was be to near stock timing, the car ran alot better. But the question is: is stock timing too advanced for a turbo (mitsu 14b @ 5psi)?

As long as you're not detonating....

Yeah... as long as you dont detonate, you're cool.
By the way, hows that turbo working on your Pro. Does it have lots of Lag? What numbers are you putting down @5psi with that turbo?
Are you using the stock ECU?

the turbo is great, is starts to spool at a little over 2k, maybe about 2.3k (its because i have about two feet of ic piping) and i havent be to the track yet but my latest kill was a 94' gsr with at least intake and exhaust (thats all i could hear) so according to C&D should be at least somewhere around 15 flat in the 1/4, and thats with stock exhaust on my car and exhaust on a turbo modded car is a very very big thing. oh, and yeah im still using the lx ecu.
