Ugh, so many taboos in that post. First off, yes, go to kat.org and browse for your answers there - note the word 'browse' and not 'post'.

Okay, lets take these in order:
1) BOV doesn't matter, like nismor said, easier if you do hot side.
2) Yes, KAT can give you an idea of some settings, but basically it'll run just like you've got it.
3) Ebay manual boost controllers are ok, they work, but an EBC is much better. If you're going EBC, go brand name.
4) THERE IS NO STOCK BOOST FOR A KA. I hate it when people say "oh it's on stock boost". What you mean to say is, it's on wastegate, or it's on ~7lbs.
5) Don't make a home made boost controller.

Ok, thanks for the info. And yes, I meant 7psi, sorry for the confusion. And yeah, I do go on KA-T, I just like to post in multiple forums.

Any idea on how much to retard the timing? So to retard the timing I would just turn the distributor counter-clockwise?

Yes, counter-clockwise.
