Yes. Reason being is MUGEN chips their ecu's for NA set-ups which require more aggressively advanced ignition timing. With turbo you usually want to retard your ignition .75 degrees per psi of boost. You also have to understand with turbo you will need a lot more fuel then a NA car desires.

Sell the MUGEN ecu and invest in either a s-afc or better yet a nice EMS.

Ignition advance and lean mixture does not go very well with Boost.....
