Turbo six on a Budget

Would I just take off the vacuum advance.
That won't do a damn thing for You, except kill the fuel mileage & make the engine run warm. I Don't know about the newer MSD boost timing master, but the older dial-type left a lot to be desired when the boost went over 5psi, the settings weren't easily fine tuned because the numbers on the dial represented degrees/lb.-boost...when We had 20psi dialed in the wastegate, it was difficult to zero-in on the correct amount because tiny movements of the knob resulted in much higher effect on the total retard. It worked, with a little water/methanol injection, but was a tedious task.
You've got basic, sound advice, even with MPFI Mopar topped the non-intercooled boost w/cast pistons on the turbo I 2.2's at 7psi for good reasons,....
