Recommeded 10* for me. I'm thinking about shimming my wastegate a few psi from stock, but I can't come up with enough advantages to advancing my timing to justify the risk.

Really? Some guy said he gained 15 rwhp from upping it to 12..


Does he have dyno sheets to prove that? You may get a little more if you're at higher power levels, but I did that at ~240rwhp. That's a less than 1% increase. Not to mention you can easily attribute a 1-2hp difference to dyno run fluctuations.

Yes, I did see those gains on the dyno, and it was not just a fluctuation. I only got the last pull sheet, but it did make 15 whp.

I ran 12 deg on my 7m after that, but with the standalone that could change.
