Timing bump ???

Quick question, I bumped the timing about 1/8". I don't know if it has every been bumped before or not but I didn't see any gains at all. I don't have a tach but my boost has dropped 10 psi, it feels as if I took the 3200 spring out. I'm back to 16 psi of boost instead of 25 psi and EGT's didn't change at all. Does this sound like I have it too far or just coinencidence and something else happed at the same time. I'll put it back this weekend and see. I figured I'd get your thoughts on it.

I was going to ask if u returned it to its previous position. Which direction did u move the IP? Something is seriously off. I suggest u return your timing to its previous position and go from there.

Sounds like you went too far - or forgot to hook the AFC line up.

Trucks with large turbine housings are not happy with lots of timing. Do you still have the 21 cm on there?

I pushed the IP towards the head, the PO may have bumped it too. The AFC line is OK, and I have a 18 cm on the WH1C. I think it's too far also, I'll put it back Saurday and let you guys know how it is.
