Default VTEC and Boost

Hello,

I set my VTEC at 5200 but my T6766 boost around the same RPM and tires spin a lot.

What do you advice me please?

Won't matter. Big turbo, good rpm, low displacement = spin tires. Changing VTEC points won't help your situation.

I was thinking along the lines of: If hes running a boost by gear setup, he can control the wastegate duty cycle and ramp boost in much easier rather than pouring everything in at once.

To a degree yes. But it will not help with any of the responsiveness of the turbo at all. Even in the higher gears, I wouldn't be surprised if he still had difficulty considering the behaviour of the turbocharger on that platform. BBG helps but doesn't solve the issue, especially if he doesn't the room like in the U.S. to utilize it.
