What does it actualy do, boost cut in and out? Not spool up at all? Overboosting? backfiring?

If your running standard boost then set it to 12degrees BTDC with the vacuum hose to the ECU blocked off on the inlet manifold.
If you've had it tuned and running high boost then back to the tuners mate or you risk your engine by guessing what it should be set at!
