RB25/S14

When I hammer on it and boost, the car begins to cut out and then try to die and shut off. Usually I can just hold in the clutch and coast it for a few seconds letting it return to a smooth idle, then I can drive it fine, as long as I don't hammer and hit full boost again. I can free rev it when it's sitting still and no problems, but if I free rev it while moving/coasting it will want to bogg die when the rpms come down and when I let out the clutch to give it gas to continue driving it, it starts to hesitiate and cut out again same as after I boost it real hard.

Checked all the lines. Didn't have my bov hooked up at first, but after teeing a vac line off the charcaol canistor it is now hooked up, but still does the same thing. Also should the wastegate vac line route to the intake manifold, or could I run it onto my intercooler pipes?

you have a major boost leak, check everything over and over and over again. something is leaking killing your motor.
