Agreed the last lines are not wide open throttle in less than ideal 
conditions.

When I get round to it I will send a graph of the boost profile maybe you can 
send the graph of the profile that you are using? If my memory serves me well 
the settings are very high in the lower rpm range. It is possible that I have 
a different version of the MTM chip than you. It is much more aggressive than 
the RS2 chips in the lower rpm range across the board ... of course the RS2 
is spec at 302 ft/lbs @ 3000 rpm.
