Map is ok. Have you checked sync and if you set fixed timing it doesnt drift?

I got my project running but it hasn't been perfect.
RD 1.8L Block with well over 200k miles on it, g60 head and cam, atp manifold, t3 "super 60", 2.5" turbo-back, arp head studs, rhussjr head spacer, small IC, 403cc injectors. blah blah
Wastegate held open while I tune for NA.
Got my fuel roughed in pretty well.
Spark is the issue, I cant seem to go over 3500 without sounding like I'm 2-stepping for launch.
It runs and drives great under 3000 which is all fine and good for around town.
I might replace the ignition coil with an MSD Blaster 2, current spark plugs are Bosch WR7DC+.
I plan on switching to WR5DC+ when I start boosting.
I'm going to double check that the plug are gapped correctly.
I scrapped the old ignition map and cooked up this new one today.
There aren't many for a turbo 8v so I cobbled together a few x-flow maps and words of advice from old threads to make this...
Thoughts?

Sync: fixed timing = timing on timing light

Stupid question but this happened to me. Is your rev limiter set up 3500?
