[Biturbos4] Bum Turbo??? Help me with the Gutless Wonder!

[Adam Jansen]

Its not the turbos...

Yes I am chipped, no boost gauge... but here is what I logged

RPM     throttle position      mbar
1240      22.7                   920
1880      35.3                   920
1920      57.6                   1330
2160      100                    1890
2480      100                    1870
2920      100                    1870

So it seems to spool quickly...
Now how to I log knock and timing?

thanks for all the help!
Adam
