Default RED HOT TURBO

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone would know why my Turbo would be glowing red hot after a run along the Motorway. It was that bad it had melted the return pipe for the oil. I have checked the timing and its bang on 12 degrees (with vacume hose off) BTDC but when I increase the engine speed the timing mark doesn't appear to move very far with the vacume hose connected. The Map sensor as far as I know is working fine due to me having the chip put into a good ECU. I have been told about chips that rally cars use etc that run next to no advance so the engine can go flat out without pinking. Any ideas?

Don't know much about chhipped ECU's and how they work compared to standard one.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
Dave
