In the morning it will start up fine, no check engine light on nothing, if you slowly push the throttle, u can make it to redline, but if you floor it, my check engine light comes on instantly and you basically get whiplash. It cuts out, if you keep holding it down it will kick in again then cut out, the boost gauge goes back to 0 every time it cuts out. Im only pushing 12 psi and everything is BONE stock. It has to be something electrical, as in a sensor. I was thinking maybe MAS? But I'm not sure, tell me what you think.
 
I know this is way old but i had the same symptoms in a pretty wierd problem i had recently, have you changed your computer for any reason lately? (if its not fixed yet):dsm:

It sounds like you have a boost leak, very common problem. Make one of these - IC Pipe Tester - and do the test, 95% of the time that's what it is.
