my KK road trainer (2.5 revs) is very close to the speed I get on my road bike with about the same power based on my quarq. The tri bike is about 2 mph faster outdoors vs trainer.

There was a thread on this not too long ago and if I remember, the only official line was "between two and five turns", like you microwave popcorn may take 2-5 minutes. Frustrating, but the consensus seemed to be then, as now, that 2.5-3 full turns will get you close if you're using Virtual Power.
The most important think is doing it the same every time, also as noted above.
And to partially answer the OP on the speed question, I am several mph slower on the KK than outdoors; I go 3 full turns.
