I haven't done it but, I have read that it is from adjusting the values so it's rich and timing retarded.

so when charge ignites, it flames out of the combustion chamber, to help spool big turbo.
this can be potentially dangerous cause of the increase in exhaust gas temp in exhaust ports, manifold, exhaust valves.

just don't sit there popcorning it,.

Try 50 for fuel and -20 for ignition and just go from there. It's nice if you have a egt gauge to monitor it.
