The only other way I know to retard the timing would be to scale the IAT but that would change fueling and other parameters. It is suspicious that BMS claims they retard timing yet do not provide data to support the claim or even a qualitative description of how the timing is controlled.

As far as whether you should retard timing when increasing (doubling) the boost, that isn't a question for anyone who knows anything about tuning. Relying on the factory knock sensor to keep you motor in one piece at double the factory boost is, well, you fill in the blank...
I have seen BMS post OBDII logs showing the timing advance is being set, I mean anyone with a JB3 can just scan their car to verify it. The question is how they are doing it and they won't tell. They also posted Procede logs showing questionable stuff, like 1 or 2 degrees of timing retard. This twin turbo market is pretty hot right now and everyone is going at everyones throat for more business.
