I believe the dotted line on the top of the BSFC map is max engine load and the torque avaliable. The easiest way to translate use this chart is via engine load. But, since throttle position does not increase directly proportional to engine load there is no easy comparison. This is yet another benefit of the scangauge, because it will tell you engine load.
