Well I took the Z out today with my HPtuners cable and logged some variables when the turbo boost kicked in. I discovered a value called "Torque Delivered" that I monitored, but I have no idea what this is really telling me. I'm a wet behind the ears newbie with HPtuners, btw, so don't expect any explanations out of me as to what the graph is telling us......

But it looks like everything jumps right around 4100 rpm to me....



Any experts want to give us a translation?

From your chart, it looks like you were at about 3800-3900 RPM when you hit WOT (TPS % at 100). Try a WOT run starting at 2500 RPM.
