Can anyone - besides Warrtalon explain why this is happening?

NOT be aware of 99% of America's "tooners".

BINGO! Damn fine job. The stock turbo cant keep up and the torque falls flat after coming on full song around 4K.
Now, installing a 280 exh cam would make a nice comparo.

Very impressive numbers! Now Im just looking forward to an 03 owner like myself slapping on the Buschur EVO 9 20g to see how that goes. Im also wondering how well an 03 i/e cams, and similar mods to smokinjoe but with an evo 9 turbo bolted straight on would do with similar boost and tune.
We know so far that the IX has handles detonation better due to the coolant passages, along with the MIVEC head, but how much do those contribute exactly to the great numbers the IX is putting out?

This might answer your question. The EGTs with no tune - rich OEM fuel maps - were HIGHER than with the tune and 26psi of boost.
The car now runs cooler.

How about reading the rest of my comments first, eh? Notice Smokin Joe already gave me credit for noticing more than the rest from the beginning. Of course, peak numbers aren't all that matters, but LESS peak certainly isn't what you'd expect when adding a cam. There isn't a lot of gain through the powerband either, but we can't do a direct comparison without the WinPep files...

I'd have to disagree with you. How can you not see the gain after 5k rpms? Look at the first map.
