My thoughts exactly. I doubt someone would do this but once or twice a month.

i would guess its not as bad as it is on other cars considering the car runs up to about 16psi anyways, (when its veriable boost decides to)

Dont worry too much. The car has only been out 3 months now. By september expect daily drivers roaming the streets of tampa pushing well in excess 300/300 on less than 18PSI.

Why does it run so fat in the first 2 dynos, then a perfect ~11.5:1 on the last with the most boost?

Two questions...

1) Why is the turbo Neon's nick-name "Skittle?"

2) Isn't there a huge problem with torque-steer with all that power going to the front wheels?
