Logged a few runs. Map 2 seems like it's okay, I think I was seeing some artifacts in my previous logs. Right after, switched to Map 1, drove around for a bit, then logged more runs in the same way.
Map 2, 3rd gear pull to redline (1)...
Map 2, 3rd gear pull to redline (2)...
Map 2, run from standstill....
Above runs felt just fine.

Thoughts: ign1 looks fine, I haven't had a chance to really comb through the spreadsheets just yet, but so far what I'm seeing is just fine. You can see the difference between the target boost on map 1 vs map 2, also the actual boost does get a little higher on map 2 primarily around 4000 rpm. But it's maybe 1psi.
What you can't see on these maps are the partial throttle boost. Again, I really think the biggest difference between Map 1 and Map 2, in terms of seat of the pants feel, is due to the turbos reaching max boost at like 50% throttle when in map 2..
I am beginning to think the reason why Map 2 might be just fine on 91-92 octane is because it's really not putting out much more boost than Map 1, most likely due to restrictions in the stock intake and exhaust design. If I'm right, then my statement implies that after installing certain
mods you may need to also increase octane on Map 2....just a guess, though. It may very well run just fine on the same octane.
I will probably just do a custom boost map after installing bolt-ons.
