well everything seems to be working good this drag kit is supposed 2 only go 7 psi of boost with the wastegate it comes with but is goin all the way to 15psi at least thats what the gauge is reading and once we hit around 6gs the car just cuts off like if is not gettin enough fuel feels kinda like when u hit rev limit just cuts off

what ems are you running?
What wastegate are you running?
What spring is in the wastegate?
Where do you have your boost gauge line tapped into?

is the vacuum line connected from the wastegate to the turbo. I remember my line had popped off which made the boost spike.

check the vac line from the compressor to the wastegate.
I bet the car is cutting off on you because it's going into limp mode once you exceed 11 psi (around 6 grand for your friend).

Thats a boost spike for you. Your wastegate isnt opening.
