Simple question, not so easy to find an answer, basically, how much is too much timing to pull on my 2step? Problem is, Im taking 10 off now, and only building 4psi at 3500???? I hit 12 psi before 4k rpm driving, so Its not like the turbo cant spool it.

I was under the impression that you do not want to retard the timing with a 2-step so spark will ignite the unburnt air and fuel in the turbo thereby spooling it.

you definitely want to retard the timing, thats how it works

you only want to pull enough to get you doing what you want.

What are you trying to accomplish with it?
