i have a 95 n/t w/t. Megasquirt is running fuel and stock ecu is running spark. At 4000rpm-redline the car feels like its n/a. I have no boost leaks, and it does it at all boost settings. I tried it at 3,6, and 10psi and the same thing happend at each different setting. I disabled the injectors and pulled a plug to check its spark color. Strong spark is suppose to be blue and what i seen was orange. I have replaced plugs (tried all different gaps), wires, coil pack. Its like i lose all power right as i reach the powerband. It doesnt feel or sound like misfire either. Sounds like the stock ecu is like not letting the car take off or the spark is too weak to make the car go under boost. I have replaced/checked all the little stuff like fuel filter, injectors,etc. What can be causing weak spark? ECU? Crank sensor?
 
bkr7e, i tried gapping .025, .028, .030, .032 and .035. Maybe i should try the hotter plug? Thats one of the things i changed when i went turbo. When i was n/a i didnt have this problem.
