Its responses like this that led me to go with COBB over any other Mod.
For reference, E30 tapers from about 18.5psi midrange to about 12 approaching redline. That's a very steep taper, all the OTS stuff is on the conservative side and for good reason. Cobb is excellent.

It's because boost isn't the only thing that nets you power. Timing changes alone will make a huge difference. The difference between Stage2+A and E30 race map is timing, boost isn't even touched. Huge power bump there.

If you don't mess with the Duty Cycle maps in ATR/run the OTS maps, your turbos will apways be in their efficiency range no matter what, this is a flash tune with boost that will taper agressively from the peak you are seeing down low. With a piggyback that's easily possible to overspeed the shafts. 18psi at 4000rpm is a whole different ball game than 18psi at redline, because boost is simply a measure of resistance, not shaft speed.
Either way 50 rwhp with 8 psi is weak. But I hear you on te tapering off.

As a point Of reference, adding 50% more boost, going from the stock 10 psi to 15 psi netted 130 rwhp. Intuitively it seems with the 335 the turbos will be working very hard but producing little. Are people's turbos lasting at these boost levels.
I've been running Stage 1 Agreesive, Stage 1+ Agressive, and ProTuningFreaks maps 93 and E40 maps for almost two years/14000 miles. Boosted up to 18+ psi in warm weather. So far no issues with the turbos.

Yes. When you upload make sure to add ".txt" to the end of the file, or make a .zip as you can't upload CSV files.

I highly recommend going the .zip route. For whatever reason converting to .txt runs a chance of corrupting the data. Even if it doesn't it will not let me open the files in my favorite log viewing software. Also, if it's saved as a .zip it can be viewed on a smart phone

I've noticed that too. It's because some people change the extension rather than add .txt after .csv.

We need a log of a 3rd or 4th gear pull 2500rpms to redline. Normal/part throttle doesn't tell us anything

so single log of 3rd gear 2500-6500rpm should suffice?

You never really went WOT and stayed there. Both logs you backed off the throttle during the pull.

However, what was there looked pretty good. Cyl 1 looks like a noise cylinder but that's about it. Without seeing a good WOT pull I don't want to say every thing is fine... but so far so good.
