stock boost = stock timing

People will disagree but at 4-5psi; it's not needed.

i guess detonation is not a huge issue in stock boost...
by the way. could you retard the timing and go to 87 octane boost?

87 octane!? In a turbo car? I wouldn't EVEN think about it.
Run premium and aim for stock timing. Only retard your timing if your plugs are looking white or metallic.
