Brushless motors have a specific efficiency range they like to operate at. If you gear too high or too low, everything can suffer. It sounds like you are geared too far trying to chase the acceleration and everything is suffering at this point (motor is hot, no acceleration).
Try to think of the timing boost as your mid-range power and the turbo as your top end. 0.1 to 0.3 turbo delay is perfect for most tracks. Unless the track is a really small track (like 25m straight) then you would always want to run some turbo and not only timing boost.
Refer to what I said about the efficiency range of the motor above. I think you will see that the motor is faster all over, including acceleration, and will probably also run cooler when you gear up again.
Gear up it is then. I'll work towards 6 fdr and temp along the way.
