Euro 4 port CA18DET used 15deg BTDC base timing, and

JDM 8 port CA18DET used 10deg BTDC base timing.

I always had my JDM CA at the 15deg Euro timing, and I never noticed a problem.
maybe that was it.

No, any air coming from the shaft is ab-normal and is a leak and will make the car run like poo. Timing should be 10°BTDC, not 15.
