The lower turbo timing is mainly an issue with small onroad tracks where you are already down some of the shorter straights before the turbo is totally kicked in. A lower turbo delay would allow shorter gearing for more acceleration once you can take advantage of all rpm available.

Turbo kicks in according to the timing delay; load/rpm has no effect on the turbo kick in and this is why setting the timing delay is very important and can be very different from track to track.
