    Timing and boost with 104 unleaded

    heading to the track and looking for a decent baseline tune with 104 unleaded. I run a TT chip for 94 at 18 lbs on the street without any knock and good o2s. I was thinking taking it to 22 lbs and adding five degrees timing, incrementally of course. Thoughts?

    Turbo swap -what's involved?

    About to do the ta49 upgrade. Can anyone help with a parts list or any tips? I've read it's wise to replace the oil line and not to run any gaskets. Just hoping to get good info before tackling it. Any help would be appreciated!
