Re: Advance Timing on a 16v? Speedy response please

[Ryan Schuermann <ryan@nwpros.com>]

Now, i didnt get all this story, so bear with me, but i stopped by the 
local vw shop in houston here..the best in houston, and i was talking w/ 
one of the mechanics and he said that they had in a scirocco that was 
stock except for a new exhaust, supertrapp and retarded timing. now even 
the mechanic had that  'i dunno' look when i looked up about the 
retarded timing..and all he had to say was, "it looked to work" he could screech 
in 2nd.
