From: In the garage trying to keep boost down
The way I see it is that increasing the breathing ability of an engine (better cam, larger exhaust, better turbine) increases how sensitive it will respond to variations in the tune, which includes timing the cam.
Put differently, increasing cam timing right away by 4° may be too much. I would try several increments until getting it "right".

What would you be looking at? TPS position vs torque?

Are you saying you are not going to invest in an adjustable cam pulley after having gone through the hassle of fitting a GT turbo, welding a full exhaust, investing in an aftermarket cam and a Rogue MAF?
