Huh? I'm going to assume you just installed a turbo kit with an inline pump and fmu and are wondering what to do about timing. If it were me, and I was running that setup, I would at least dial the distributor back to 14 degrees and run the lowest boost level I could, preferrably 7 psi. Run 93 octane and cold plugs too. I don't see this being a problem.
