Get fuel in check first.
Correct PID for wastegate.
Add boost in increments.
Add fuel/timing/boost where required.

Repeat until it blows up and dial it back a quarter turn.

Is it a good idea to tune timing while doing the fixed wgdc runs @ 10%, 20%, 30%....90%?

I think this is how they do it with a aftermarket ecu and a "empty" ignition table.

Because you think your tiny OEM rods will be able to withstand the abuse that a total n00B will give them when he starts poking his way around tuning a big turbo setup? Now that's what I call being optimistic! Besides from that, the search function on this forum will provide you with more info than you'll ever make use of, except you're too lazy to even try doing a search before asking what has already been beaten to death on here in every possible direction you can imagine.

Same guy that that messaged me on Facebook asking how to tune (lol). Figure it out pal, not one person here owes you anything. Also, if you had a clue regarding hardware you'd realize you're going to put a hole in your block. Has no clue, stock rods, doesn't follow forum etiquette... lol 2-3 weeks before the account is ghost and just more server space wasted with stupid threads like this that don't have to exist in the first place.
