What moto-mike said is correct. The load limit is (i believe) in the stock logic. I do not believe that this was 'added' by EcuTek, though it seems weird that you're hitting it at 1.3 grev as I was able to run more load than that on open source and BRZEdit, so it's possible that maybe they have i don't know. I've never used the non-RaceRom version of EcuTek, so I can't be sure. Inputting values into engine load limits 1 and 2 will have no effect. You're also correct that you don't want to go jacking up the airflow model to try and hack around it. The solution to the problem is RaceRom, which will allow you not only to increase the load limit but to overcome other limitations that you likely haven't encountered yet (with custom maps). You'll need it for a boost cut to begin with, which no turbo car should be without (i've personally watched it save multiple cars... bad things do happen and it'll save your ass).

If you want you can send me the rom and I'll check it over to make sure there isn't something else getting in the way, but I'm confident that RaceRom will fix your problem. It is worth every penny and then some, for sure on a turbocharged car regardless.
