Any information given would be greatly appreciated as I am still pretty new to this boost thing.

I dont know all of them , but Too retarded timing will give low power, lousy emissions and excessive bore wear. You can burn up the turbin wheel on your turbo too. I dont know what heads you have and where your piston height and head gasket thickness is, but 15 degrees sounds kind of low.. Im not saying it is. I would need more info to have a better idea....
There are guild lines to follow as you tune for optimum timing while reading the plugs...
With out them its playing russian roulette if you ask me.
