Careful - we don't want to start sounding like a typical Honda VTEC enthusiasts forum

I have no idea. I snagged it on the forum like 2+ years ago. I'd say it is probably the .8 bar. I think that is what the 38mm comes with stock.

Boost control tied into the Rogue MAP sensor with auto adjust based on timing or knock counts ??

I think the main reason the boost drops off at the higher RPMs is because of the pressure drop through the intake (intercooler) as RPM increases.
The boost from the compressor discharge to the boost controller/wastegate stays the same but less of it makes it to the intake manifold as the RPM increases.
Add to that the usual "to small of an air filter for power required" syndrome, and the increasing high RPM back pressure in the cross-over (which pushes a bit to open the wastegate), and there you got your falling off boost.
It rarely has anything to do with boost controllers or the wastegate, for that matter.

This is the torque curve I am chasing. Chris White posted this up awhile back. The curve (black line) is from one of his past project cars (like 10 yrs ago) with stock internals and the same turbo I am running. I find this curve amazing, basically flat torque from 3500 to 6000.

What a coincidence, that's the same benchmark I'm using for my car
