Default Won't boost past 1psi

So me and my tuner took the car out to do some street tuning and when we boost on it it cuts out after 1psi the stock map is reading but no boost. My tuner thought the map sensor was bad so we put a different stock one on it and same results. Will read 1psi then cuts out.
I thought maybe the tb gasket is causing a problem because it's the gasket that Edelbrock sends with their manifold and it dosent have all the slots in it like the Oem one does.. I can't really afford an omni or hondata map rite now and just want it to boost lol. I think im going to try swapping the gaskets and try again tomorrow, but I don't know if it's worth the work since the map is reading... Any suggestions or ideas?

Are you sure your tuner know what he is doing? or maybe you are the tuner?
first of all which EMS are you using?
what is your setup like?

without knowing any of those, I can still tell that you are hitting some sort of boost protection.

my tuner knows what he's doing... And no I'm not the tuner. No boost protections are on which was checked numerous times also why we are confused as to why it's not boosting, And I'm using smanager
My setup is b16head on gsr block fully built Edelbrock Im with stock tb forward facing turbo mani with twin tial wastegates turbo smart manual boost controller

Check under theft protection and see if a boost cut is turned on. Don't ask me how I know...

For example Lean boost cut, HI/LOW temperature boost cut, bad TPS, bad speed sensor.
I was getting cut at 6000rpm because I was running a transmission without the speedo gear, also breakup because of a bad TPS.

Rite all sensors are reading fine though and we changed hot and cold boost cut so it won't cut boost. Unchecked the engine code boost cut I just can't figure out why unless my map is bad and my other map maybe a d series and idk how much psi they will read. I can't find theft protection either

You said smanager so I assume S300 is your ems. In smanager there is a security tab. There is boost limit under valet settings.

So the valet can't joy ride your ****? That's pretty smart.

OP, OEM Honda MAP sensors can all handle up to about 10 PSI. Unless you magically have two bad MAP sensors, that's not the problem.

Yea s300 sorry.. Valet settings are disabled, and I can't believe both my map sensors at bad but, could that be causing the cut? It's ignition cutting for sure because the tach drops when it cuts if that helps I really don't get why it's boost cutting. I didn't know if there was a "theft protection" settings menu or something I knew my valet was off. I'm going to take off my map and blow into it to see how high it will read to rule it out. I'm also throwing code 6 but like I said I have boost cut if cel is on, off.
Update
Downloaded a tune from the vault and now it's only fuel cutting and not ignition cutting. Under rev limits only fuel is to be cut when it hits the limiter buy my rev limits are set high enough and is only cutting at boost. I also blew into my map and it read 1.8-2psi so my map is functioning

Just for ***** and giggles, post your fuel map. Your tuner does have values in the positive boost sections, right?

You can only upload images.

Take screenshots of all of your tables and settings. We don't actually need the map itself.

Uh, you know you'll need to readjust your tune with a 4 BAR MAP sensor, right? If you don't adjust the tune, you're going to have even more problems.

That doesn't mean anything. You can print screen and paste to a word file, or save as an image.

If not, there's always the library or a coffee house where you can BORROW wifi for free in most 1st world countries.

Ok well I can't post from my laptop without wifi..
I fail to see how it's relevant to my problem when I can just use my phone and take pics instead of driving 10 min to USE wifi.. And boom pics have already been posted... So I still fail to see the relevance
