never experienced a problem with boost cut not working, are you sure you got a accurate reading on your boost? are you using a boost gauge or like a measurement coming off a electronic controller, like the avcr?

Check the continuity of your wiring and your vacuum setup. You can also configure some solenoids to default to the spring if the electronic boost controller fails. I lost an engine due to a failed EBC

What MAP sensor are you using, and what did you tuner set for boost cust. Keep in mind that you should set your boost controller to protect from overboosting, the hondata should cut but will come back on once the boost is below the cut level.

I couldn't tell you why, but I had trouble at the higher boost levels trying to get boost cut to work.

I could get it to work on the lower levels but for somereason every once in a while it wouldn't cut the high ones.
