Also, you should consider checking the gap on your plugs. And which plugs did you install? oem?

Logs seem OK.
I see a 1-2 counts of knock in the WOT log you put up.

Can you log WOT with only rpm, timing, tps, wideband, knocksum, inj pulse width and injector duty cycle?

Your AFRs seem on point as well.
New plugs must be gapped.

Did you floor your has pedal? If you did, something is wrong with your TPS. It read 66% max and not 100%

TPS hit 100% on some of these. Air Volume is all over the place. What turbo do you have?

I'm new to reading datalogs. You may want to research the HTA 71 and why it now comes with an antisurge housing. I recall airflows would stop for a slipt second because engine couldn't draw it in. That caused flow meters to read very low airflows. This could be your problem.
Is your compressor housing equipped with antisurge?

Look at your AirVolume readings as AFR was climbing. My guess is that your ECU read low air volume and was switching to normal driving mode to conserve fuel (look at timing advance going too 11 degrees as it registered a lot of knock and then pulled timing. Your wastegate duty cycle is all over the place too (probably reacting to erratic AirVolume).
This is my best guess. Turn your boost down until you fix this problem before you blow your engine.

For now, set your boost limit to 20 psi. Research to look for other potential causes. Get in touch with an experienced tuner to read your logs. If you can find a cheap antisurge compressor housing for your turbo, buy it and see if it fixed your problems. GL

Also, log a few runs at 20 psi and see how that looks.

Do you get noise from turbo when boosting that sounds like pigeon or turkey?
If you know someone with an evo like yours, try swaping MAF to see if problem goes away.
