Default KO4 Turbo tweaked?

I'm currently installed the KO4 Turbo, I already have chipped my car and had them tweak my stock turbo.

Am wondering for the KO4 to work with the powerchip, do I need to have them tweak the turbo too?

What are the pros and cons if i dont?

How fast will my stock cams, cylinders, pistons last with this KO4?

When I had my powerchip installed they tweaked the computer brain to raise the pressure of the turbo. So that it would kick in quicker, with less turbo lag.

Raising the boost level does not change the spool up or lag.

with any turbo change, you need new software.
