when i first got the car it wasnt running the best and had this issue which i thought was the rev limiter kicking in but it was in fact boost completely dropping off as seen in the boost graph in red, the car was also not running enough boost, the blue line was from the last tune with the previous owner, you can also see in the power and torque graphs that it was making more power before and the turbo/ boost was an issue. the car also had another issue where it was lagging too much and we pulled the exhaust off and the car picked up 40kw instantly, i thought it must have had a blocked cat but it turns out that the rear mrt section was restricting it so thats when i had the rear section Y and mufflers put on, we went from twin 2in mrt system to a custom 2.5in system, now the power was back
these graphs below are from when it was done, the different power levels are for the SI drive that this car has
