another timing thread

So I fooled around with the fuel screw again and adjusted my timing. Set it to 7°btdc, notice at idle it was at around 10° or so.. but stayed pretty consistent at 7° throughout the rpm's all the way up to 2000 rpm. I'd would assume this to be normal? With a flat timing curve? If this makes any sense

Sounds normal, got enough power when you get on it? If so leave it there, you dont want to melt the tips off the glow plugs in the pre-combustion chambers.

Ya good power, was just trying to get the turbo to spool a little quicker. Full throttle has a light and I mean light trail of black/gray smoke.. I'm leaving it, perfect. 12-14 psi or more depending on if the exhaust is warmed up, banks non WG set up spools good when egt is about 275 or more..
