I wouldnt touch the timing until you have chance to get to a RR. It will be fine.

Its more how much you need to change the fueling rather than the timing when you fit an IC.

i would say it should be fine provided you dont alter boost levels at all. thats assuming your not running a lot of boost now? |

If your intercooler is very efficient i would have thought it could weaken your mixture a fair amount ? if your mixture/timing is already out, it could be a problem.

I think Giallofly is trying to tell you forget going back to Minispeed and give your hard earned cash to someone who knows exactly what they're on about. Five posts back on this thread is a guy who's only a stones throw away from Minispeed and he has a rolling road in his workshop. Nice chap too, very helpful. |
