Last Monday, I went to my garage and had a dyno run.

Here is the dyno sheet and my questions.



As you see, there's a wave after 5500 rpm and I talked to my tuner, and he said that there's some faults on ecu map, and it's harmfull for my engine.But the problem is, my ecu is stock and untouched.

Another question is, how can I get more power step by step ?

Current mods so far..Apexi AFC-Neo, Aem Wideband, Greddy EGT, HKS 3" piping and silencer, FMIC, NGK iridium sparks, HKS mushroom filter, Walbro fuel pump, 450cc dsm injectors, t25 stock turbo @ 11 psi. Advance set to +12.

There's a bunch of variables that can cause this: fuel pressure, fuel pressure regulator, detonation and retard, T2 small turbo running out of breath, and even the tuning with the afc. You're running out of fuel, boost or timing. Becareful with advancing timing as this can cause detonation as detonation easily on these motors. What is your base timing? It should be at 15* BTDC. Look into these areas and get back to the forum with your findings.
