Default turbo timer+msd 6A = not a good combo???

my car is acting very strange. i got a blitz fatt dc turbo timer in my SiR and recently installed an msd 6a. when i turn off the ignition, the transfer of control turbo timer is not smooth. the tach needle will drop to 0 and the engine will stall for few millisecond or sometimes in the verge of stalling then engine speed will rise up to 1500rpm for 1 to 1.5sec then drop to normal idle. is this normal for a car with msd 6a and turbo timer installed? what could be wrong here?

when i haven't had the msd 6a installed yet, the drop in rpm when i turn off ignition RARELY happens and if it happens it only drop to 500 rpm without any audible change in engine idling. when i had the msd put in, the problem seems pronounce and it is annoying not to mention something might go wrong in the ignition.

anybody experienced this before? how can i fix this?

Might be a bad connection on your distributor -->MSD box. I'm running the 6A with a timer, no probs.

Are you using an external coil?

Make sure your cap is securely tightened, also. I'm just sayin, I doubt a perfectly working/installed MSD will cause a problem with your Timer.
