    Noob Question on Retarding Timing

    Okay so when increasing boost you have to retard timing to avoid pre-det correct? Now for us MK3 1JZ-GTE owners finding a piggy back Ignition controller is not an easy feat, so is it possible to safely retard the timing for increased boost on stock twins or even up say twin TD05-18G's using...

The tachometer doesn't work but I do believe that is because its a N/A tach with a turbo motor, something to do with the coilpack's vs distributor or something.
