Big thump when hitting high boost??

I am really not sure how to explain the issue I am having. I just got done putting my FMIC back on after a good clean. Took it for a slow ride around the block, and on the way back, I gave it a good pull. By the time I hit full boost, It felt like my car hit a break wall for a second. I let off, and it drove normal. I didn't do another pull thinking one of my intercooler pipings might have come off or something.

I got back, and everything looks normal. Would this be related to the intercooler, or does it sound something like fuel cut issues?

Any help would be appreciated!



Edit : Been looking around more at fuel cut symptoms, and it definitely sounds like I have them! I have stock fuel pump, and stock injectors, and I have not re-wired the pump. I actually just ordered new injectors today, but it sounds as if I will be needing a new fuel pump?
 
Fuel cut doesn't have anything to do with actual fuel supply. You can replace the whole fuel system and it will still do it.

It is controlled by the ECU when it sees a certain airflow level. It assumes that you still have the stock fuel system and cuts the supply so you don't blow up your motor. You have to lie to the ECU about airflow numbers, or get rid of the fuel cut in the ECU itself.

An SAFC or something similar that reduces the airflow numbers to the ECU is a decent fix. DSMLink gets rid of fuel cut, and there are probably other chips that I am not familiar with that can also. Keydiver chips are no longer available IIRC.

I don't have the kind of money for DSMlink right now. This is the first time this has ever happened, and it was right after I got done putting my FMIC on, thats why I was assuming it was that.
