Why would it be hitting fuel cut?
My car is hitting fuel cut out of 1st/2nd gear, it has a 3" exhaust (exept for 2.75 ID MP). I thought it would only boost creep to fuel cut with this set-up???
I also have apexi filters, and a PFC on the way, but I'm thinking I have another problem since it's still doing it, even after I rehooked the wastegate... I've heard people talking about "pills" Woule this affect the wastegate's operation? Or lead to fuel cut in anyways?
Also it won't go past .8 bar, which I think it normal??? And in 3rd gear, with a pull from 2500 RPM's it will fly to 100 MPH before I knew what was happening, and it didn't fuel cut! WTF????

That would tikle me pink if it's not fuel cut. (unless it's something worse )
EDIT: Just converted it, and .8 bar-11.6 PSI....

OK, I now know that it's not boost replated! I capped the line that runs from the wastegate to the silinoid. And I'm now seeing intake manifold levels of .45 bar! Can't be fuel cut!
Maybe I put my boost guage in a bad place? It's a mechanical RE.... I put it on a vacume nipple on the upper intake manifold that was empty, had a vacume cap on it.... it is next to were one of the BOVs is. Bad place maybe? Even if it is, I can't believe it would be 50% off!

Nope, that's a common location for a boost gauge vacuum line. Just FYI, I "Tee'd" mine off the MAP sensor line (IMO it better to see exactly what the MAP sensor is seeing).
So, are you saying the car is just losing power after a certain RPM range in 1st and 2nd gear but pulls just fine in 3rd?

I don't want to T the pressure sensor, because then it will distort the reading that the ECU see's.... Or that is what I think.
And yeah, it seems to only do it in 1st/2nd. The car isn't street legal (got no title, tags, or a windshield with no holes!!!!) So the only place I drive it is around the neighborhood, and on roads with little/no traffic. I've never gotten into high RPM's in any other gear than third so I'm assuming it's only 1st/2nd. Someone said it might be because of fuel temp/pressure??? Or something like that. It happens right around 4500 RPM's. Even with low boost!
Also, yesterday it wasn't doing it with the higher boost. It was running great/pulling strong, but I thought the clutch was bad (even though it was only the pedal being misadjusted ) so I took it home, and stopped messing with it. But today, I lossen the pedal and let the PP clamp all the way, and now it just looks power again.
I'm lost....

1. TCA actuator/solenoids
2. Secondary injectors
You are probably going to need to find a large open/empty parking to do some testing so you can see what's happening for sure.

Well.... I didn't want to, but I guess I have to pull the intake and check those.
Also is the TCA one of the large pods on the bottom side of the turbo's???

OK, the FD intake is wayyyyyy worse to take off than an FC's!!!
Also due to not seeing a couple vacume lines 3 nipples got broken I'm going to go ahead and put block off plates on, and remove the airpump while I got the intake off. But what do the two siliniods bolted directly to the upper intake manifold go to??? Each one has 2 vacume nipple, and one lost both, the other lost one.... Can I just remove those, Or are they important?

Bahhh, three nipples. I'm going to remove all the emissions crap anyways. even though the only things I broke aren't emissions....
And there is no rotary shops in/around Aiken! And I'm to cheap to pay someone for **** I can do.
Also, I was searching and kept reading about the Wade Lanthum simplification. Does anyone have a link to this? All the links I found were password or some ****.

They were connected, but when I removed the UIM I didn't see the vacume lines, and the nipples broke off... Easy fix.
Also, I'm going to try and do this:
