Default adding outs for the possibility of being ahead

I'm interested in finding a way to compute "virtual" outs (outs that account for the fact that you may already be ahead). A simple way to explain what a virtual out is as follows. You are in a hand with a pot size of X BBs on the turn, you bet and have been raised and are getting pot odds of X:1. You determine that if you are behind to a certain hand (say two pair) that you have Y outs. You can look at a chart to see if you have the pot odds to call. What happens if some percentage of the time, Q%, you are actually ahead? This would add some number to your outs, so your outs term would be Y=(Y_actual + Y_"virtual"). I know how to do this calculation if you are further behind, ie you discount a certain percentage of your outs. This would be the reverse of that, you add a certain percentage of your outs.

How do I determine Y_"virtual" as a function of X and Q?
