Might want to check for a boost leak or check your maf.

[quote="89"rb240"]its not my maf its as if its fuel cutting as soon as i start to build boost[/quote]It would have to be a BAD boost leak to do this..... My money is on fuel.... unless it does the same thing just revving the engine? Some jdm engines come upgraded with chipped ecu, wrong mafs and bad sensors. Process of elimination and if I can tell you the best advice I've got from the guys here .... Check your GROUNDS!!!! lifesaver

Something is wrong with your MAF circuit. Do some searching, it is pretty common.
