That is a matter of tuning, unfortunately. Basically, setting your timing has to do with your set-up. You have to consider the variables involved i.e. adjustable FPR setting (fuel pressure), size of fuel pump, external ignition upgrade, grade of fuel, and the atmospheric condition (air temp, humidity, and barometric pressure at sea level, which is your location). Your timing per boost can only be right if you take your car on dyno and tune it. Basically, if you start getting a "knock" or detonation, that means your timing is too advanced (in respect to a turbo set-up). If you have the AFC "hack" and boosting at 10 psi, the AFC automatically advances your timing to about 7-8 degrees at 10 psi boost. This could be bad if your location is hot and humid....... I'm sorry to give you an answer like this man. I dont like it myself, but unfortunately, this is the truth. Come back again.....
