Default hitting boost cut or a cut in third gear?!?

i got a turbo b16 tuned on hondata s300 using a mac solenoid all of a sudden i get a cut in third gear only at 8000rpms? my redline is at 8700 and the car sometimes does a jerk when im cruising around 3500-4000rpms could this be fuel related?

your right but i really dont know how to record and save and i don't know how to read the datalog to see whats my problem is, i THINK its fuel cause last night i filled the car up with gas did some runs and it was perfect so i think its lack of gas pressure

If your car is cutting out at wide open throttle & you don't have a wideband oxygen sensor gauge installed in the vehicle. I highly recommend you take the car to your hondata tuner to have the vehicle inspected to ensure the air fuel ratios are still on par etc.

will a restrictive dump tube cause creep cause i purchased dump tube off inline pro and had to cut and weld a little smaller braided tube to the inline pro dump so its like 38 to 35 the tube will this choke cause boost creep???

Sure it can, it would have to be a tiny, restrictive dump.

Simply guessing at what is going on is pointless.
Connect a laptop & datalog what is happening with a wideband or take the car to a tuner.

If you lowered the duty cycle on the boost control, it lowered the boost. Congratulations you have resolved your issue.
