I finally know the way around my engine management, and will be hitting the dyno tomorrow. Just wanted some tuning advice since this is my first tune on a dyno. I have my a/f ratio set I plan on advancing the timing a bit. Should I wait for the turbo to reach full boost before adding timing? Or can I add before and during spool?
 
Generally you want to start at a base, which you already have now and do additional runs adjusting off that base. I was always taught to make adjustments to the entire range, but they have a basic tuning guide somewhere on this site I can't get my copy and paste working today.
