This is a begi S kit. Keep in mind the dyno was done at the end of a very hard and very long day. 300 mile drive to get all hooked up + all day of driving crazy to tune it.
Barely ran 18 degrees at 5k, anything over that would ping and the ecu would retard anyways.
This was with a 99 10th edition
I was running adaptronic ecu, 800cc injectors, 2554 turbo, stock exhaust from the cat back. Regular downpipe, not the seperated gasses one, and no intercooler as the s kit does not come with one. Air fuel ratios were 11.5-12, 6 psi wastegate, 93 octane gas.
I suspect the VICs was not working at that time either.

SAE smoothing at 5 and very jagged, looks like its detonating above 5k rpm. It also looks very poorly tuned, that little turbo should make for a very smoothly shaped torque curve, and that you do not have.
Are you running cold plugs? what octane?
You should get on a FMIC asap too. Check out my threads to see how I set mine up. Its kinda a pain compared to an NA.

...unless he had bigger plans.

6 psi, 5th gear (6 speed tranny). The tunning was done by Travis from Boundary Engineering.
The big dip at 5k is because of detonation, he first ran it at 20 degrees and it was detonating out the **** so it was lowered at 18 degrees.

Ignition map looks usable (hard to read). Have you verified your timing with a timing light?
Your torque curve should be shaped something like this:

Make a test map with 10* timing everywhere (don't drive it that way!), fire it up, and put a timing light on that thing. Make sure the marks line up. For a '99, you should see two marks with the light, one will be on 10 BTDC, the other on 0 or "T".








After all its only 1 button
