Default boost cut symptom...PLEASE HELP ME...

OK I HAVE A TURBO SINGLE CAM, 8.5:1 COMPRESSION, TUNED ON ECTUNE..JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I GET ON THE THROTTLE, IT WILL SHUT DOWN JUST LIKE BOOST CUT, BUT ITS NO WHERE NEAR BOOST CUT PSI. ALSO AFTER IT CUTS IT WILL START RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AS IF IT IS FLOODING THE CYLINDERS OR STARVING THEM. WHEN IT RUNS ROUGH IT STAYS RICH ON THE GAUGE, THEN ABOUT 30 SECONDS GO BY AND IT HICK UPS AND RUNS PERFECT. THE TUNE I HAVE DOES NOT HAVE A LEAN OR RICH CUT, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT UTILIZE AN O2 SENSOR. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TIMING IS ON POINT, CAR HAS FULL COMPRESSION, NO OVERHEATING, I HAVE ARP STUDS SO I KNOW THE HEAD IS NOT LIFTING....IM VERY STUMPED RIGHT NOW, ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS ALOT!!!!
