As timing is reduced EGT's begin to rise and a happy medium has to be found on the tuning side. Timing has to be reduced enough to prevent pre-detonation and at the same time not allow the EGT's to rise too high. There is no exact figure that works across all engine applications. So, working with an experienced tuner like Halim@HCP is key!

Will you guys be designing turbos and manifolds for the N55?
Great points you make in this thread as I am very familiar with the potential ill's of using the Pureturbo design concept on the N55 engines. This thread is timely
Just to repeat All the points made in this thread by Kratos is why I never considered using a Pure turbo setup on my N55 powered car.
