Default erst timing query

ok guys hoping someone may know whats wrong here......

basically my engine was running with the dizzy way too far advanced and it was suggested that my cam timing was out hence the reason for the dizzy being too far advanced.

so i paid to have this checked, the cam was found to be 10 degrees out so was put right and it made a huge huge difference, was unbelievable but the dizzy still seems to be wound too far round. infact the car has been driven to donny show today and the guy driving it said that the dizzy couldnt be advanced anymore than it currently is.

i dont get it cos the dizzy is still in the same place as it was b4 the cam timming was adjusted. i dont know or understand y??? the cam had been checked with tdc so therefore advanced 10 degrees, well as it was that far retarded i would assume that its been advanced 10 degrees to make it correct? im told tdc is correct now anyway

so can someone please shed some light as to what could possibly be the problem. as ive said it feels much much better to me but the guy driving it said it still isnt correct u dont really feel any power from the turbo until it gets to bout 15psi and u should feel it as soon as it starts boosting?

this is the first turbo car i have owned, i just assumed that was the turbo lag?

please please can someone help i just wana make it right and get a good time!!
