yea my thoughts exactly xlr8. Timing does increase torque if u bump it up a little..but too much causes detonation. The only way you can get increased heat out of this is if you retard the timing, and that causes external temps to go up (ex manifold and turbo) and make them run red hot sometimes...because the timing is retarded enough where the actual combustion event is occuring in the manifold and the turbo. You lose horsepower, spit flames out the exhaust on occaision, and your EGTs go thru the roof, even tho the combustion chamber components are only warm...just the turbo and the manifold get put thru extreme heat..
