Default Timing issue

I have a 06 z with greddy TT, dump pipes and E-manage Ultimate, and I can't tune my car because every time the car makes boost the ecu retard timing. In the EU logger it says the the timing drops to -80, -132 range, is that even possible?, The car is running A/f in the 11 range until it retards timing. No mater what I do it keeps retarding.
I have checked every parameter and put every map in 0 and the car keeps doing the same thing. Have anyone experience this problem ??
I don't know what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks !

Maybe timing is being pulled for a reason? Take it to a pro tuner to have it looked at.

I know from first hand experience that the EU is not very good at adjusting timing.

What does your timing map look like? If it's all retard then it should be ok, but I could be wrong.

In any case, your best choice would be to ditch the EU in favor of something else... UTEC for example

I take my car to a local tuner, and he doesn't found any problem with the wiring or the program but the car still keeps retarding timing from 3500 rpm and up, with load or without it. No matter what I do the car keeps doing it. I remove the EU and check the timing with a ODB II scanner and the timing is OK. Any advice on what I can do with my EU?

I'll ask again, what does your timing map look like? are you adding timing, or subtracting, from stock?
