Assuming you're not making those numbers up, I'd first consider fuel cut. The cat is possible, but it's not often that exhaust restrictions cause a 'bump'ing response.

Where were you to be going that speed?

150 is easily within the capability of a stock well maintained FD. Fuel cut should only occur from an abnormal event (over boost), which I have never seen running at those speeds. The car (at least US version) does not have a speed limiter.

If you still have the stock ecu, there's your problem. I'm surprised you aren't experiencing it in 3rd-4th gear.

Nothing wrong with going (back to) sequential!

I saw Delaware in your profile location and knew that would be tough, even in Sussex county.

12psi will produce fuel cut on the stock ecu. Not much margin left, and the fuel cut defense won't work if it appears as a quick enough spike. I suggest you install manual boost controllers or adjust the pills to bring it down a psi or two, or put in a reprogrammed or programmable ECU and get it tuned.

I second that, except replace the dp with a mp and add a power fc. (dont ask why about the midpipe and not a downpipe)

My car, non-sequential at 11psi, would surge at high speeds. I guess you could explain it like a gentle bucking. Just a thought
However, if you are sequential kindly disregard this post..., and the gentle bucking I mentioned above took place last night on the coffee table with my girlfriend.
