Microsquirt GSXR1000 turbo in a Jetta

Hows she goin'
I just wanted to show my latest megasquirt powered project!
I sold the 2.5l 5cyl I had installed in my mk4 and I needed to replace it with something to make the car driveable again. At the time the only good engine I had in my shop besides a mk2 1.6 diesel was a very low km 2005 gsxr1000 engine. I imagined shifting gears in the linear transmission of that suzuki engine and It did not take me long to begin fabricating the coupling shaft and engine frame!
Its running the latest Microsquirt So far I have 40-50h into the car
It runs ok, I still need to sort out part throttle cruising fuel, stalls when revved quickly from idle, and I am really flying blind with the ignition timing. After seeing the stock suzuki timing table I really think it needs more timing in the mid range. 70 degrees of advance just seems insane to me!
If any of you have any recommendations regarding the ignition table please feel free to let me know
