Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

To think sorting out the turbo was my biggest concern..

My turbo is here now but I still have a few more parts to collect so he still may beat me to it.

based on that torque curve, the boost is probably "all in" i.e. at the boost threshold by 3.5k~3.7k
Then again, is that real RPM or derived RPM on that dynoDaily 2018 Tiguan MK2 Sportline (Drag & Drop Tune, 12.9s @ 108mph)

I've seen the same sorts of curves from other tuners using the same/similar turbo.
Who knows if it's "corrected" RPM based on roller RPMs.

That torque curve seems to drop off quickly after 4500 rpm....maybe the person should have gone a hybrid IS38 rather than hybrid IS20....VW Tiguan 162 TSI Highline w/ R-Line & DAP.
