Default Is it my 3 bar map sensor?

I just got my car tuned at 14 lbs a few weeks ago and I went to the track this weekend and I couldn't boost pass 14 lbs. I turned up the boost a little bit and went to lined up and started off the on first gear and when boost hit's it feels like I hit a wall. Then check engine light came on and my car won't go, but if i let go of the gas so boost does hit I was able to drive it down the track with no boost and the check engine light goes off. After that I turned the boost back to 14 lbs and the car run fine. But I was not happy with my time, which was 13 sec. flat at 102 mph. So is this my hondata that's acting up or is my 3 bar map sensor?

check in your hondata settings for the "boost cut"

it seems to be to low, or your 3 bar isnt hooked up in hondata

from my understanding boost cut is for saving the motors life??

your motor is tuned to 14 so if you take it over that its not safe??

should of tuned higher

Whats your setup and what size injectors are you running. I can't boost past 15, due to my injectors maxing out, least thats what it feels like to me

Thanks for the info. I contacted my tuner and it was a boost cut set at 14 lbs. Time to get it retuned at 18 lbs. I'm running on 780 cc injectors.
