I'm an F'ing retard. Left TEN-GRND jumper in.
Oooook, went out to the car today to bump the timing up from 5* to 8* since I have an intercooler now. Turbo has been installed for 3-4 weeks now, and I've been messing with getting rid of all the bugs. Been all over the board from 2.5 psi to a spike to 8 psi once. I get out there today and realize my jumper is still in from setting the timing right before I started the car for the first time with the turbo installed a month ago. I feel like such a tool right now.
So, before touching anything else, now I need to ask: What effects would running the car in diagnostic mode for 4 weeks with a turbo have??? Could that have caused anything weird? Need to know asap before I go alter the timing today.
Thanks and please be nice

Can't say I've ever done that, so I do not know what would happen. Just keep an eye on the car.
But hey, we all do dumb things occasionally. Let's just say my nick name is "oops". And, in case you are curious, if you blow a vacuum line off - it feels like you just blew your motor.

it didnt make your check engine light blink? I know when i still had the stock ecu, i left that jumper connected and my check engine light was flashing. but yeah, i wouldnt worry about it, the ecu just wouldnt advance the timing past your set minimum.
