Crank it up, watch for smoke and pyro. If everything's good, crank it up more and do the same. As long as your EGTs stay sane, you'll be fine.

This is why you need a turho in the first place. You are running "rich" at elevation, because you are getting less air in compared to sea level. Ford de-rated the N/A engine at altitude as it is.
The turbo... basically eliminated that de-rating, but Ford didn't crank the fuel up from N/A spec, so we don't know where the turbo will start having trouble.
This is also why adding a turbo will decrease egts despite cranking the fuel up(check Banks' documentation), because it can run 'leaner' at full throttle.

You could also look at modding the intake, and exhaust down pipe; both will aid in allowing easier air flow so less EGT's; without too much work.
