One thing about the timing maps that have me wondering.
Why does Porsche and others drop the timing significantly
between 2120 and 3000 rpm. Thats before Boost is hitting.
Is it to increase EGT before boost in an effort to spool sooner ?
I see you have increased timing in that area

Ok tired spring in AFM maybe , a boost leak that would show lean on the A/F meter right? I don't have any lean conditions.

Dip in timing is to take account for the change in manifold pressure from - to +...

I'm in boost solid by 3000RPM, dip the timing a little to prevent knock, then increase again as the RPM rises..

Turbo spool starts at just over 2K on a stock car, and is at full boost by 3K...

Boost leak would equal less air into the motor than the computer "thinks" is going into the computer, thus too much fuel for the air that is actually making it, hence rich not lean...

Your WOT is WAY rich...BUT the reason I suggested disconnecting the O2 is I am willing to bet your entire map is too rich, but the computer is compensating for it until you hit 60% throttle and get into the WOT map...

The DMEs adjustment from O2 feedback is limited...
A boost leak will present itself as lean in vacuum and rich while in boost.

The factory timing map was developed with safety in mind. The factory has to assume that someone will put the car in 5th, and then floor it at 2000rpm. So the factory timing map reflects this.

Also, the stock AFM maxxes out at ~4.6v

Ok one thing at a time stock AFM 4.6 I see 4.59 so I'll leave the AFM alone.
Boost leak shows rich not lean?
Sooo... I can read the AF with the wide band, Zetronix multi gauge, I usually have it set for boost but I can set it for wide band AF and check the numbers. Disconnect N/B to take ecu out of loop.

How do I check for boost leaks, will carb spray work?

I made an intake leak tester like this one:

Click Me

If the AFM spring is too weak - it won't have the correct volt-output vs airflow, and will make you run rich.

I goggled boost leak test so I got it need pressure in the system.
Awilson 40 asked a question about the timing between 2120 and 3000 rpm.

I'd like to know also.

Hmm reread, 5th 2000 rpm I got nothing, but I see your point.

flooring the throttle with such numerically low gears puts alot of load on the engine, which causes more boost to build over the longer period of time.

kind of surprised that your turbine hasnt eaten the housing, wiggling 1/4" at 150,000RPM
