I hit 13 psi............and no fuel cut. I have fuel cut( right before 10...I assume it's the 8.5 PSI) in my GTUsT (the same motor and ECU that I had when I hit 13 PSI) weird.

Then there was a FCD in the system somewhere, or some other electronic mod that did the same thing. There is no way to exceed 8.6psi boost without some kind of electronic trickery.

That pretty much proves there must have been an FCD wired in somewhere, since the ECU is obviously unmodified. It might have been a DIY FDC wired into the harness at the ECU, so you might not have recognised it.

I have seen cases where boost comes on so quickly that even without an fcd, you can surpass fuel cut and continue boosting into the high rpm's, even with boost well above 10psi. I know some may disagree with this possibility and dismiss it as bullshit, but I've seen it several times. You roll into the throttle moderately and the car hits fuel cut, but if you're ripping it up it might buck a little once and keep right on boosting.
On the original topic, an afc has nothing to do with fuel cut, so you'll still need the fcd.

My stock S5 ECU will allow 10 PSI for about 3-4 seconds before fuel cut (with the FCD out).
I first thought the restrictor pill was the reason, but the dash gauge shows the high boost only about 1/2 second after the mechanical gauge.
