What I was going to say: "Like I said I would, I retract my statement. But just to let you know, I've worked on about 8 FD's and countless FC's, I've dealt with every minor and major issue they've had and helped several people tune their cars. I've, almost always, seen the hp/torque numbers withen about 5% or each other, except on a few FC's(including mine) where the HP is about 14% greater then the torque numbers.
I'd almost be willing to say that you've got a problem with your 2nd turbo. That HP number should be WAYYY higher, even stock.
Like I said, the stock computer is NOT capable of that unless you already have a piggy-back or Power FC...something your not telling us?"
Now what I'm going to say: That dyno chart is REALLY ****** up and it is A)Either not for your car or B) Someone is ******* with the data.
First, thing that sticks out is that your hp/torque lines DO NOT CROSS at 5252rpms. That is the laws of physics, YOU CANNOT CHANGE THAT. Here's why: horsepower is a deriviative of torque. Here the equation "HP = Torque x RPM 5252". At 5252, horsepower will ALWAYS be the same as torque...ALWAYS. I don't care what anyone told you, that is messed up. It is possible the torque reading on that graph is exactly double what it is suposed to be.
If that torque curve was accurate then at 6400rpms you'd be making 426hp. At 4400rpms you'd be making 330hp. If you half those numbers then at 4400rpms you'd be making 165...which is EXACTLY what the HP curve says. At 6400rpms you'd be making 213hp...again EXACTLY HALF of what your HP measurment reads.
Second, you would have blown your engine on that run. No two ways about it. At 6000rpms you would have blown at least one or two apex seals. There is NO way around that. Even if you didn't blow your engine, ignoring the fact that you'd have detonation, you torque curve would severly change at that point. It would NOT be that flat with that signifigant of a change.
Also, just to let you know, turbo FC's are just as fickle as FD's. They have most of the same problems. No, there's arn't as many vaccuum lines, but the ones that are there break just as often, as well as many other things on the car. They're just not as expensive to fix when the time comes.
One more thing: This proves my point. With the torque being halved the hp and torque peak numbers are almost the same. Withen a few percent. I AM correct on this one.

I have been told that I get a prize when I buy a 3rd gen due to my having alphabet soup. SA, FB, FC... Been there, done that.
