The sad part is the fact that you can not fix that without a proper reflash and JB4 can not do anything to help it.
Turbo flow characteristic map. Top is 550, lower one is Alpina.
Part of wastegate function. Top is 550, lower one is Alpina.

Yup, wasn't expecting a ton without a proper tune, but was hoping the increased efficiency would maybe yield a little bit faster spool time (which it seems to have done) and maybe some more on the top end (which it definitely didn't).
But wow, are those tables directly from the DME? I'm impressed at the level of complexity that these ECUs have. There's so much more than just igntion/fuel anymore.
