No I haven't didn't think it would make a difference but I'll give it a shot. And on further review of datalogs I can get it to boost to 2psi ish if I take it slow but never any higher, the highest was 2.1

Bad ignitor? Your Rev limiter is set to cut fuel only so the tach shouldn't bounce.

I was having some serious issue last year, couldn't figure it out all my friends and their tuners tried to talk me into buying their EMS to solve the problem because I am in Germany and they are stuck in their stubborn ways I have to drive all the way to Holland for dyno tuning. after so many hours of researching and testing and hearing all the **** talking from people who know ****, I finally figure it out, I had to switch transmission because I damaged my Dog box 3rd gear. long story short the dog box did not have a speedo gear on the differential so I was always stuck in anti lag mode (2step) only way I could make a pass was when I changed the transmission and realized the speed sensor signal was the problem.

Yea there has to be a mechanical/electrical problem somewhere.

Does your speedo work?

Have you verified the ecu is getting the proper signals?

There should be a sensor view on the S300. Verify that everything get a signal and that's it's the proper signal.

Either you've got a a wiring harness problem, a jumper harness problem, or an ecu issue.

Have you tried a different map? Go into the tune vault or whatever it's called and download a tune from a similar setup, upload it to the ecu, and see what happens. If you still get that same cut ou problem then it's the harness, the ecu, or a mechanical engine problem.

Yes all sensors map tps coolant and others are working fine. Iv also tried different tunes from the vault with the same results. I also used this same wiring harness ecu and electrical components before this new setup, with success. Only things I have changed are re-installing an injector box, and extending my map wires (which have been checked twice) because I moved the strut tower fuse box. I'll run though my harness tonight and look for something though. I have tried a different stock map, just bought an omni should be here this week, and checked the wiring for my map, signal checks out as well

Check those map wires a third time.
Continuity on each wire with a multimeter. Less than one ohm of resistance minimum from end to end

If thats the only thing youve changed i would look really hard in that area.

Post a vid if you can of it cutting out

Yea it's reading with the ecu springs are 10psi turbo is t4 t04e full. Yea we have richened the fuel a lot when it enters boost with no luck. I haven't checked boost leak but even if it was leaking boost it wouldn't cut like it does.. I feel like it's an electrical problem but I can't find anything that's wrong

The ECT code correct?
this could be telling the ECU your temperature is not high enough or too high, even though all your protection are turned off you never know, get that part fix too.

Yes it's the ect. I'm going to order one tonight. When I get the sensor can I just plug it in and the cel should go away? Or do I need to pull my old one install the new one? Just trying to avoid a coolant mess if its a wiring issue.Why is the cel flickering though? Driving me crazy! I'm about to sell the car lol

I would check for continuity between the signal wire and the Ecu, could be a damaged or loose wire or connector.
