I did a few logs the other day, after getting my Ktuner. I'm running the 19/23 psi tune currently and it runs very good. But I noticed that the ignition timing under full throttle is almost always 0(zero)? When I'm under part throttle it seems pretty normal timing from my previous cars and knowledge of self tuning. Now its understandable that a car under WOT will run much less timing especially boosted applications, but this is the first car I've encountered 0 or sometimes -1 to 1 Degree of timing on a pull? Is this how these 1.5T engines are set up/designed or is the tune that conservative?

There are multiple tables that go into deciding the final ignition timing values. There is also room in our basemaps. In some instances seeing 0 won't be uncommon.

But all the time? I know IAT plays a big part in timing too, but its been pretty cold lately. I just want to make sure something isn't right with my car? It is bone stock at the moment so maybe that has something to do with it begin factory intake and intercooler?
