Default Possible ignition problem

I have a escort rs turbo with a high spec zvh running on mfi I have had a brand new hybrid turbo from crs and had fueling set up.

Just coming down the motorway after 20 mile cruise and gave it sum beans for a second to over take and it lost all power n sorta bogged out so I turned the key quick pulled over and my turbo was glowing red so I let it cool down n crawled home saw few posts about retarded timing so I advanced it 2mm and seems to run alot better I just don't know if this would damage it but just ran alot smoother.

It's got a bad blow from manifold but I am waiting for my new radiator to turn up because don't wanna take it all apart twice in 1 week also I'm not running water feed to turbo as I can't get any metal pipes for it any pointers would be great also is there a test I can do to check oil feed to turbo but I have done 600 miles on it running everything in so I guess if it was not feeding right turbo would of died cheers
