Well i have an ignition map for the Z18Turbo running about 15 PSi.
Its from my wolf3d but your most welcome to have a look at it. Its
internally stock and so is the turbo etc.
If you want it email me and ill send u the wolf3d software and map.
PS there is a wolf3d MAP that comes with the software but it didn't work
well for my its available @ www.wolfems.com.au
