my fuel setup is stock besides the additional inline fuel pump that came with the kit. I know that i need bigger injectors and tunning but i figure that it shouldn't effect teh fuel cut.

I'm guessing you have an FMU that came with the kit as well?

I was having the same problem with my car when I first installed my turbo and I had an Inline Fuel pump, stock injectors and an FMU, at 6+ PSI the boost would just drop out. My engine lasted one week before the Piston rings broke from detonation.

Was it a Turbonetics Delta gate by chance? Mine took a ****. The Tial is 100x better.
