Since you have forced induction retarding your ignition is pretty standard. So when you find the stock setting (16-18 BTDC). If the car runs good then leave it be, but if you find that its pinging retard the ignition 1 degree at a time.

You can mark the distributor mount with degree markings and make adjustments that way.

Mine is on the right side of the engine if you are sitting in the car.....
Kinda hard to tell you where to set the timing at without a little more info....What style turbo,fuel pump,ign.,fuel octane,stock piston,no engine work at all....Retard it and use 93 octane would be safe.....
