So I was looking into ways to exploit this a bit and realized the majority of the base SOI maps already have a pretty significant drop in the low RPM - high MFD ranges - then timing picks back up as the RPM's climb.

Is this in there just for this reason (turbo spool), or is there more to it?

Sorry Colt, little off topic.
