CIS-E euro ignition map?

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

iirc, this is only true for 8v (pre-1986?) cars.  they used this map in the 
early audis, and then started using it for all dubs also.  info is in 
raven's book i believe. toby, have you actually checked how far your timing 
advances at throttle? there's a procedure in bentley...
