whats the max advance with a turbocharge motor? when datalogging and making corrections, what would a couple of timing issues/numbers I should look for? whats safe? how do know if my timing advanced to an unsafe level without feeling it? whats a safe temperature on the egt guage, will this let me keep an eye on my timing? should there be any advance? when I made my base map I set the retard 1.0 deg per boost, but when I look at the map I see advance

1 degree is waay more than you need, if you're doing a linear retard like you have set up, .70 is a pretty good start, for a step retard, you want .25 every 3 psi (0-3 psi, no retard, 3-6 psi, .25 retard, 6-9 psi, .50 retard, and about .75-.80 for 10 up.
