MCM "Turbocharged vs Supercharged" MX5 episode

Make me wonder how much work they put into tuning VVT. I know they had to cut a lot out due to time. They certainly can't show us the entire tuning process but it seems like they left a bit on the table. I mean, people with Megasquirts are getting measurable improvements all throughout the rev range vs the stock ecu.
I would also like to see them turn the boost up after doing their side by side test. Bring it up to the limits of the stock motor and then see how they feel.

I think the European / Japanese / Australian 1.8 S-VT are pretty well tuned from the factory.
Please remember those engines have much better intake and exhaust manifolds than the USDM counterpart and I would not be surprised if that (along with the more strict emission regulations) threw off the tune for the USDM car.
