What’s up guys? My car is doing something wired; my brother thinks its fuel cut but im not sure if he is rite or not. When I hit full boost (about 17 or 18 psi) my car starts to cut in and out of power and makes like a machine gun sound it’s kind of hard to explain to noise. Do any of you guys know what this could be? And my profile is up to date.
Thanks Vince

Nice mods. You could have a nasty boost leak. I would check. Also when is the last time you checked your plugs? Definitely not fuel cut if its sputtering. Fuel cut feels like you ran into a wall.

I did find a boost leak, and I took care of it but its still doing the same thing. Do you know of anything else it could be? Later today I am going to see if a have another boost leak some were. Thanks Vince
 
Still sounds like a boost leak or a missfire. I would check the plugs and wires also. you should not be fuel cutting at that low of boost unless you had a boost leak. Fuel cut feels like you hit a brick wall, it wont cut in and out.
