Electricity loss under gas
Mods that might relate to problem:
Pettit airpump elemintor with underdrive pulleys (alternator and waterpump)
Apexi AVCR
Boost gauge with constant power wired straight to battery
Under hard throttle all the warning lights come on: Low fuel, Low oil, Low coolant, Charge Battery.
Front left abs wire was ripped during spring install and is just left hanging.
I'm thinking the AVCR might be wired in a little funky, boost gauge taking constant power, pulley dying or being underdriven, or maybe the abs wire is flapping and making connections has something to do with it.
I really doubt the avcr install. Boost gauge directly to battery + underdrive pulley sounds most likely to me but I'm horrible with electrical systems.
What do you think it sounds like?

If it was me, I would check that you get near 14 volts when driving full throttle. That's the easiest test to do before mucking around the connection points. Then start looking at page Z-44 in the electrical manual.
When the car is off, the boost gauge is at atmospheric. It is useless data. Why is this wired directly? Isn't it a bad drain?
My shot in the dark is: your pulley is slipping once the engine gets faster.

It turned out to be a loose plug to the alternator. The car felt so much better after I slammed it back in.
The constant power was so the Defi could do it's blink and full sweep before turning on. Just to be safe I pulled the wire and I'm going to wire it to either the cig lighter or splice into something else.
