The PFC fuel cuts when you hit 0.25 bar (which is a lot IMO, 3.5 psi) over your target boost settings. You need to adjust your duty cycles so you are not exceeding your target boost. If you are using a separate boost controller, you will need to turn the PFC settings to a higher level than what you are running on the controller.

It's all in the manual.

Do you know how to read a manual? It is in there in easy to understand terms.

If you do not have a manual it is online in the PFC forum.

here you go.

Lets pretend you want to run 12 psi. Take your boost set it to 1.00 Bar for primary and secondary turbos. Take your selenoid duty settings and set them to .38 to start. Run the car and carefully watch the boost gauge. If you only hit 11 psi, then change the selenoid duty settings from .38 to .42 and try again. Do this till you hit the number you want.

The theory behind moving the car to the 1.0 setting is assuming the 1.0 takes it to 14.5 psi as your target (I know its not exactly 14.5 but close enough). Your stock map sensor can only read to the 16.X psi range. .25 pct of 14.5 means you will have to spike at 18 PSI to hit fuel cut and your power fc can only read to 16 something.

Dont listen to these guys the power FC ownersmanual does not tell you how to do avoid the fuel cut. Sure it tells you to set your duty settings back, but I found that I would do that and it would work fine, then it got cold out and I would spike again causing it to cut fuel. This was the only solution I could find.

Just be careful that you dont overboost, thats the theory behind having the selenoid duty settings set so far back at first.
