Default 00 Si, EMS w/ Greddy turbo kit, vtec not coming on?

I just installed my EMS, and I threw on the Greddy turbo base map that they have posted on their forums. I drove out to Chatsworth last night, and on the freeway onramp, I got on it hard (read: full throttle), and I didn't feel (or hear) vtec at all. So to test it I gradually raised the engine up to 6k in 3rd gear, and again, no vtec. Any suggestions?

BTW, car is 2000 Civic Si with Greddy turbo kit, no IC, stock exhaust, AEM fuel rail and regulator, Walbro 255 lph pump.

I posted this on the AEM EMS forums, so if any of you are users there, here's the link to the post for more info: http://www.aempower.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1913

Thanks for the bump Sam.

I fixed the problem. Actually, there wasn't a problem. I found out that the vtec just engages at a point where the power transfer is so smooth, it doesn't jolt like usual. Also, I can't hear it because the noise of the turbo dorwns out the noise of the increased engine, uh, noise
