You may need to find a different tuner, because leaving a rich spot to "smooth out the transition" is a hallmark of someone who doesn't have the experience to tune it correctly.

Get a different tuner!

I would be wanting neck issues by now, with all the parts you have thrown at this car. wow..Its sure says something about just buying and bolting parts. Its about getting details correct.

First not so much, but second almost has full traction in a straight line. Soft rear suspension, pinion snubber, a little rear toe in and Torsen help.

I run tein coilovers. A mate came over just then and we may have discovered the problem. My throttle body. The secondary valves are opening pretty slow so the car might only really be getting 33% of the airflow it should, as when boost hits them its probably closing them again. Would explain the lack of power and turbo lag. Will find out tomorrow when i pull it apart.
