Fine tunning the 12 valve

I finaly got my fuel issues (Installled an Air Dog) and boost leaks fixed. Now I want to do some fine tunning. The quetion is what should I be looking for (besides the obvious, harder excelleration). Id like the turbo to spool a little quicker and it still appears to not completly clear up at approx 40# boost. Should I back the plate down until it clears up and then work on the bottom end? Or does it matter?

Thanks
Jeremy
