Default Mess with Ignition timing or not.. ?

So the turbo is finally on, but we didnt adjust the igntion cause no detonation..
but I thought I heard something when I was toying on the highway.
Should I take the precaution and do it, or just leave it alone?

Well depends on what you think benefitting is. You'll have less chance on detonation but you'll lose power in the process.

To retard the timing turn the distributor clockwise.
