LT1 timing for turbo

Hey guys I have Tunercat, and was wondering how would I go about tuning my car for boost (timing). Do I just scale all of my timing charts or would I just scale the areas that make boost?

Would I just be better off buying a MSD Boost Controller perhaps?

Also what ignition do most of you run?

I'm running an msd digital 6, but i'm still doing the timing by the stock computer. I just have it pull timing at 100kpa table down to 26 degrees.

you will just want to pull timing at 100 kpa..i made the mistake of pulling timing around everywhere i thought boost was kicking in and it was really slouchy...got some advice and just stuck with the 100kpa row.timing depends on a few things.. but in my case..i am still workin g on getting a wideband so am playing it safe with 18 degress. ive heard this was relatively low and the low 20's is where ya want to be.

So do the rest of you guys pull timing only in the 100 kpa row? You don't change anything in the 95 or 90 rows?
