Lynn,
What would be your educated guess for
the ignition advance to avoid detonation
for a side
housing intake 13B (intercooled to <130 f ) , 9.4 to 1 comp rotors ,
87
octane (no alcohol) and turbo boost limited to 10 in/hg (5 psi)

We raced for years on 20 degrees total advance in a NA engine. So any turbo
would need less than that when the boost is up. Off idle where there is no
boost you want the highest advance. The Renesis is mapped to show 44 degrees on
coast down closed throttle.
Very low cylinder filling and lean idle mixture needs more time to burn.
If you join up to the Nopistons list and go to Dyno charts and ECU, you can
download maps from dozens of known brands of controllers, and the readers send
in their maps and dyno charts. Ask any question you like. Lots of turbo people
to talk to.The kids meet at chassis dynos on Saturdays to race their
turbo-charged Mazdas.
So you can drive a 500 HP Mazda to work through the week and "Race" it on
weekends.
I do not tune turbo engines, so have no direct data. On real high boost the
kids might be down to 10 degrees leading and 3 or 4 degrees trailing. Racing
beat likes no split at all for high boost. The split timing starts to look like
detonation. Turning off the trailing can hold off real detonation, so some folks
shut of the trailing when the Nitrous is flowing.
"An Ignition away from the spark plug after the planned ignition
event"
I would go with Racing Beat on this and run no split.
