It's in FGTurbine.cpp:

    double correctedTSFC = TSFC + TSFC - (N2norm * TSFC);
    FuelFlow_pph = Seek(&FuelFlow_pph, thrust * correctedTSFC, 1000.0, 
100000);


The published TSFC value is usually for cruise conditions, so I've made it 
vary with N2 to better model fuel flows at low N2, where the compressor is 
inefficient.  I matched the results with known fuel flow values for the 
CFM-56, and the results are pretty good.

Do you have a better formula to vary TSFC?  If so let's get it into the model.
