How can i retard the timing on my A4 1.8t? I want to remove 2 degrees of ignition timing. Also does the computer retard timing automatically as boost increases on the A4. The example i speak of is similar to the auto retard boost feature found on MSD boost timing master ignition control box. I figure A factory car equipped with a turbo especially Audi performance should have something like this, or is a custom tune the only way to do this? Lastly, can a switch be hooked up to activate the retard of set timing to initiate when needed? For nitrous run. I ONLY WANNA RUN A 35 SHOT TO ELIMINATE LAG AND PREVENT BLOWING ANYTHING, BUT I PLAN TO HOOK UP A STANDALONE FUEL CELL SYSTEM, TO FEED THE NITROUS KIT WITH 100 OCTANE UNLEADED, FUEL PRESSURE SAFETY SWITCH, AND BOOST FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. I have run nitrous before and I like the power my car currently has, just only need it temporarly with nitrous and i heard it cleans out the catalytic converter so I will use it for that too. Plus I want some underhood difference; something that will motivate me to clean and show of my engine more often. Thanks

Instead of running nitrous, I would run a chip, full exhaust, and intercooler, which will net you a safe 35awhp with no extra tuning needed.
PM me if you're interested I can get you all parts needed
