What exactly do most EBC's do, other than the adjustabity to the amount of boost and boost curve.

Basically what i am really asking is that can an EBC help adjust timing?

Either a Greddy profec, APEXi AVCR, etc.

Default no. They can control boost as much as the wastegate will allow

Zero ability to adjust timing.

I will be running GIAC software with teh 28RS and i am afraid i will be pulling too much timing considering how GIAC tunes their cars...maybe not though.

Default Doh...

Gapped the plugs, car is still hiccupping like crazy. I think that small mystery leak you heard, might be the culprit, so I will be checking all of my vac lines this weekend.

Default nah, i dont have any problems...yet.

when i go with my BT set up, 28RS turbo, i will run GIAC software and i know that they tend to pull a bit of timing, so i am just hoping it wont pull too much. I am sure it will be fine, i'am just freakin out : )

thanks though.

Default It pulls timing for a reason

unless you treat the reason why it's pulling timing, then adding timing will do more harm than good (if any)

FMIC, water injection, higher octane gas, more efficient turbo, etc, etc
