The little big turbo is nearing the end of its tuning. Since last time, some more wastegate duty cycle has been added as well as an increase in timing.
The turbo is starting to shine. Although there is definitely a longer time to spool which is still throwing me off a bit, the power up top is so much higher it’s worth it.
After this, I’m probably going to keep the tune going and go to a 30% e85 mix. There’s guys who have seen increases of 50+ hp pretty easy on turbos like the 18g I have. These cars don’t like much more over 30%, as it can gum up the high pressure fuel pump (though there’s been a lot of recent work done to make it more viable) and a high mix on a gen 2 Mazdaspeed3 can kill the gas gauge.
Keep in mind this dyno chart was made with 3rd gear wot logs from my AccessPort and ran through Virtual Dyno, so while it’s not completely accurate, it gives me some idea of where I’m at.

So, it’s like being on a “Mustang” Dyno? (kidding)
Smallish Turbos are capable of good things.

Aren’t dyno pulls usually done in 4th?
Also I wna’t a turbo really bad for my I6 2.3L, how much time and money have you put into this?

Yeah, they are, but 4th gear pulls are pretty hard to do on the street, haha. The charts were made with logs form my AccessPort and ran through a program called Virtual Dyno.
As for time and money.. I’d say I could do it for around $2.5k if I had to do it without any other mods. The car already had a turbo from factory though, so I didn’t have to do anything like figure out oil and coolant lines to the turbo, or buy a new exhaust manifold. It took me and a mechanic from work about 10.5 hours to install everything (big intake, downpipe, 3 port boost control solenoid, 3 bar map sensor, turbo, egr valve delete)
