Fuel cut....best course of action?
A question for the guys that have "been there, done that".......
As I have posted before, my car is now boosting harder and higher than ever before, and I am experiencing fuel cut. I am seeing 12 to 13 psi spikes, believe me I don't want to harm this engine, but now it is almost impossible to just stomp the gas and go, I literally have to sort of feather the throttle as I watch the boost climb.
So, what are my options, keep in mind this is an automatic. Should I just simply install the new pill that Pettit supplied with the downpipe?
How 'bout a fuel cut defencer? Or an upgraded ECU?
Helpful ideas and suggestions are appreciated!

Ex fd *****
I would suggest doing a through examination of the WASTEGATE control system and then if no other Problems are found install the NEW pill. If problems are found then fix first and try the new pill remember though that the later turbos had no pills but restricted vacuum nipples on the actuators that have to be drilled out to tune with pills
