Car dies. Possibly ecu?

I've had issues with the car randomly shutting off and stuttering etc. I thought I had it narrowed down to a bundle of wires going into the ecu. I took it to a shop owned by a family friend. I got it back yesterday. It starts better but runs worse. He said they had the wire harness out and fixed several shorts and they said the car should be running great, its not :banghead: While driving, the car will randomly shutter and the check engine light will come on momentarily. When I get on it (a little) maybe 5k rpm's with VERY low boost set about 6psi on a 20g turbo, it wants to die. I can hear the ecu screaming at me every once in a while.

Has anyone had a similar problem or any advice on what to look at next? Is it my ecu that is bad? I have dsmlink v3lite but I am not experienced with it. Any advice would help greatly. Thank you.
