Will this work with a Turbotweak 5.6 chip? Came across one really cheap
Turbolink 3.0/4.0 with turbotweak 5.6?

that's because most everyone is switching over to Powerlogger and the real fast guys are going with the FAST standalone system
With all the options and upgrades constantly coming out for the Powerlogger I wouldn't waste my time on the Turbolink. Not to mention the tech support you will get on the TL vs PL isn't going to close. TurboBob (creator of PL) is pretty much on these boards as well as Fullthrottle tech forum all the time and answers questions and fixes bugs VERY fast...updates are free to download not sure the chip really matters or not...I'm sure someone will chime in shortly.
If you haven't checked it out yet Bob is also in the final stages and now testing his new 2-Step ignition for the turbo Buick/TTA...pretty cool!!!

Can you make changes to the fueling and timing through the laptop without having to use the scan master?
No. The ECM on the Regals and TTA's are not flash updatable. You aren't really changing it with the scanmaster, it's just a display device. You're really changing it with a set of inputs that the ECM can see.
Turbolink will work but you will be limited to the ALDL update rate for tuning.

I thought the 5.6 chips are user adjustable with a scan master?

all the TT chips are but need to be able to view the changes through the Scanmaster, Directscan, Powerlogger, Turbolink, etc.
For example if all you have is the Scanmaster...
Adjustment Procedure
To adjust the programmable features, you will need a scantool that can display LV8 and BLM (L8 and
BL on Scanmaster).
Select a parameter:
1. With key on/engine off, look at LV8 on your scantool. It will display the parameter you will
be adjusting. It should display “0” to begin with.
2. Press the gas pedal fully and release 3 times, except on the 3rd press, hold it to the
floor. Like this:
1. Press/Release
2. Press/Release
3. Press/Hold -- don’t let go!
You must complete this sequence in under 3 seconds! If not, you’ll have to turn the key
off, then back on to start over.
3. Keep holding the gas pedal. After about 2 seconds, LV8 will start to cycle from 1 to 4,
over and over again.
1 = WOT Fuel - Overall (all gears including 1st gear)
2 = WOT Fuel - 1st gear only (don’t adjust this if you have no MPH signal)
3 = WOT Timing, 1st/2nd gear (applies to all gears if you have no MPH signal)
4 = WOT Timing, 3rd/4th gear (don’t adjust this if you have no MPH signal)
3. When you get to the parameter you want to adjust, release the gas pedal. Wait a couple
seconds to make sure the number stopped on the parameter you wanted.
Adjust the parameter you just selected:
4. Switch your scantool over to BLM. This will show you what the current setting is of the
parameter you selected.
5. If you want to change the setting, press the gas pedal a little over half way and the
number should start rising. When it gets to its maximum, it will start over at its minimum
and keep going. When you get to the number you want, release the gas pedal. If you
push the pedal all the way to the floor, it will increase faster (too fast for some scantools),
which is good for users of Directscan, which has a much faster update rate.
6. Key off and the process is complete. If you want to adjust another parameter, key off and back on, and start the process over. The key off/key on motion can be very quick. You do not have to wait any certain amount of time.

You adjust by the gas pedal. You only view the changes with scanmaster.
