My turbo sits where my battery used to be.
Would retarding the timing for drag racing work with how far my turbo sits?

Yes it will but depending on if you have a stick or auto you will have to advance or the timing to build boost faster.

it will be fine and my car did not seem to like any retard

With the distance of the turbo from the exhaust manifold would the ignition of fuel being dropped into the manifold spool the turbo as far as it is?

The reason I ask is I want to get a two step and would like the LPE if I can take advantage of retarding timing to build boost off the line. If my turbo distance is an issue than I'll get the MSD unit.

from post i've read, lpe customer service is hit or miss.
i think i'm going to keep it simple and go with msd unit..

whats your setup?

i can only footbrake to 2200 at the moment and my 002 builds about 2.5lbs at that low of an rpm

It would be useful for people who post these questions / post in these threads to specify the type of transmission they are using. The type of transmission changes what is needed in order to build boost.

Auto = advanced timing leaner mixture
Stick = retarded timing richer mixture (ignites mixture in exhaust)

If you have an auto trans with a converter that is too tight, a 2 step will not be of much help in building boost. I've seen it posted many times and experienced it myself.

ive made 3psi at the line with a m6 at 4500rpm crs has 3.42 gaer and still cut 1.67 60 foot. car is 3700lbs with me in it. so if you have a m6 car id go to 5k or 5500prm to start off.
