Wow, you got more than 25% transmission losses.... that's a bit high if you ask me..

You need to get that car tuned so your curve is more of a curve having that sudden jump in power is most likely the turbo kicking in but it is really needing a good tune or free it up somehow, do you have any exhaust work done to it?

Re:power graphs from turboed b16a

you need a bigger turbo..I can see that the power begins to drop at 6300 rpm's
B16 heads flow so much exhaust air the turbo is choking it and it's working the turbo to hard.....you're barely in vtec and you already have to change gears...that's sad....
Go get atleast a bigger turbine so you can rev to 8K.
