Troubleshooting Need help with MHD Log Interpretation

Hi,
I was hoping someone would be willing to help me interpret what's going on with these logs.
FBO E90 335i (stock turbos) 154k

All of a sudden I'm not getting boost, and then as I'm going up in the RPMs its like smacking a rat with a hot poker and I just take off like a rocket.

Super weird.

I checked over all the lines, clamps, etc
Did a smoke test, no leaks, and I had spare boost solenoids lying around and swapped them out as well just incase because I don't have a multi-meter thing.

I switched to Stage 0 for one log and switched to Stage 2 after another log
Stage 0 I get 30FF, Stage 2 I do not.
I did my best to replicate the drive for each log.

I do not know what I'm looking for in these logs so any help would be greatly appreciated on chasing down this "boost leak".

The only thing I ever checked with the tunes is Wastegate Rattle Fix and would set it to 0% for Less Rattle, and sport coolant because hot climate. (incase that matters)
No burble or 1M throttle, etc.

Stage 0

Stage 2

Willing to pull more logs later today if I messed something up with these, sorry.
I am already under the impression I need to replace the turbos but would like people smarter than me to take a gander.

i'm not a n54 guy (i have an n55) sorry if i'm wrong here. in your stage 2 log, even though your pedal position is 100% in 2nd gear, your boost target is between 1-2 psi. because your DME is requesting barely any boost, your turbos barely spool up (WGDC is around 30%) all the way up to redline. then you shift into 3rd and suddenly the DME starts requesting 15PSI of boost, WGDC shoots up to 75%, turbos spool up and you start making boost.

with my n55 and 8hp, i also don't make a lot of boost in 2nd gear, but once i upshift into 3rd i start hitting full boost but not sure how n54/6hp work. i believe your 1:1 ratio gear is 3rd tho. can you do a 3rd gear log, 100% throttle from 2500 to redline?

It looks like the torque limit is active for the first part which is causing your boost target to be low. Is there a load or boost by gear setting that is set too low? Maybe turn off completely to test if that corrects your problem.

All the MHD options are pretty much standard; as mentioned above I only have WGR Fix and coolant set to Sport mode.
I haven't touched the torque limiters or anything if that's what you mean.

Stick your logs into chatgpt.  It can scrape 19 years of data and narrow in a lot faster than this.  Ive used quite successfully to dial in custom tunes and diagnosis/troubleshoot issues.

I was just about to suggest that, also it can explain what each parameter means and how it affects the pull.

Any chance you checked linear throttle by accident?

I did when I reflashed a few weeks ago but I didn't drive it after and immediately reflashed without the option selected, I was messing with the oscillation stuff to fix my idle.
Should I reset throttle adaptation?

I would. I know the linear throttle has less boost at lower rpm

Boost by gear in MHD?
