I would think it more critical to have a turbo car actually on the dyno that a simple bolt on mod NA car.
The problem is, we as tuners can't see the effects of our changes in real time. Say you send us a data log, and it shows you are way rich in the mid range, and some fuel needs to be taken out at those rpm cells. Sure, I can make an informed guess and get it close, but there is a chance it won't be perfect the first time.

Then you get into ignition timing, which is a whole other ball game. You cannot tune timing based on a data log without real time feedback from the dyno. Camshaft timing is the same way, the tuner needs to see if his changes are making a positive change or not, based on dyno feedback.
