INHO, there are a couple of issues with your setup...

- Stock ECU does not compensate with extra fuel when going above the stock PSI levels.
- Stock ECU does not continues to reteard the timiming when going above the stock PSI levels.
- Overboosting the stock turbo on a stock intercooler tends to create high intake temps

All three are a bad a combination for a Turbo rotary engine

What would I recommend? at the very least, get a rtek ecu flash!

DUMP the FCD (Fuel cut device) and get a Rtek, or standalone or go back to the stock ems and stop turning up the boost. FCD is a bandage that tricks the ECU. Best solution is to get some WB o2 on there and see where u are with the A/F ratios, and using a tunable EMS getting your car dialed in. Also a complete fuel system check is likely a good idea (upgraded pump, new filters, inspect the PD and clean/inspect injectors. )
