Sorry, just re-read my comment, didn't mean it to sound so picky!!

I think the graph looks odd because the bottom axis is displayed from 800 rpm, so it makes the engine power look very narrow.

Looks like it could have potential!

power band is very narrow tho.

maybe a smaller turbo might help things?
