Re: twin turbo questions?

Hey what are you guys running your timing at? I'm trying to figure out a timing curve because due to budget I'm going to run the stock pistons and rods and I'm trying to get a safe starting point. So please any advice would be really sweet

What combo of parts did you end up running? On mostly stock swaps you just start with low boost and stock timing and watch kr/log it, and build up from there. If your still on stock compression and have enough fuel then you won't be "blowy-upy" right away.

I'm not sure what kind of timing figures you had setup for the MS4 (And if you had timing ground in), but you can always back it down. I believe the rule of thumb on pump gas is 1* per pound of boost over ~4-5lbs. That being said, if your logs are clean and your not melting plugs, its possible to run waaay more timing than that would suggest.
