Bad engine management = Bad engine performance
What size turbo r u running anyway, 18G?... 204ft-lbs =
Yeah, an 18G. It isn't all that big, but for stock internals and 149k miles, it is plenty of turbo for me.

I was pretty amazed by 204 ft/lbs since I street tuned it myself and didn't even mess with the ignition map. I am sure that if I tune the ignition maps more aggressively, I could squeeze more hp and torque out of it, but there is no reason to. Having more than 180 ft/lbs of torque after 3800k rpm makes it a very fun street setup.
