How does advanced timing help with better gas mileage?

It allows for the fuel to burn longer, thus less fuel ends getting burned in the CAT.

The problem is, when you advance your timing, the fuel maps change, so the gains will most likely stay the same. The way to actually gain better MPG's with the timing mod is by getting a tunable ECU, Calum RealTime or Basic, and adjusting the fuel maps, so that they wouldn't change with the timing.

Now I haven't experienced with this first hand, but a knowledgeable friend of mine explained this process to me. If this is by any chance incorrect, please let me know and I'll update it.

hey guys!!
Do you know a way to set the timing with S4 cams??.... i mean is really hard to do it cause of the Loopy idle. The marks are always moving all over the place!! I super hard for me... i never been 100% sure i have the correct timing.

I hear 17 is the most for engines with S4 cams.....is that true??

Could someone help me please??

I actually thought when you have the jwt cams don't you have to run 15 degrees timing or is that just with the ecu?

Well i really think i did...... i did the hole thing of Reving up to 2000rpm for 2 min.Turning it off and disconecting TPS. Then turning it back on and Reving it 2-3 times up to 3k.

The problem is that at idle speed of 750rpm aprox. is really hard to tell cause the marks move too much. I only can stabilize them by putting the idle at 900 to 1000rpm where the engine idle is smooth.

Did i mention i have UR pulleys.... i dont know is that an issue too??

What do you guys suggest??

Check your crank pulley, sounds like it is loose!
