wait, do you mean you want it to blow or not? this should probably be in the forced induction/tuning forum

and you should leave the distributor timing alone, please tell me you have some type of chipped ecu at least and not just a stock ecu or AFC. you want to retard your timing when boosted to help combat knock, its usually done through tweaking your timing map in the ecu, so you should probably bring your car somewhere and have a professional do it

You need a proper ecu, tuned for your setup with all the supporting components.

Give me or any other tuner a call and you will get it all setup.
