I would say that 2-3 rotations usually does it for a car that is ticking pretty loud. No matter what, I make sure there is still a lot of room for the wastegate to open.

It of course depends on how bad the ticking is.
For me, it's a one time shot, since once the engine is started, you have to wait a while for it to cool down again.
