Default Boosted b18 cuts out at 10 psi

I have a sleeved/forged internal b18 (bored to a b20) that Is boosted with an eBay 57 trim turbo
My wastegate spring opens at 10 psi and whenever I hit 10psi no matter what gear or rpm I seem to lose all power for a few seconds or until I put the clutch in. I have a chip tuned p28 ecu and 440cc injectors, I’m thinking maybe the injectors aren’t cutting it but I’m not quite sure, any help is appreciated!

What MAP sensor are you using ? If it is stock, chances are good that the boost cut is set just below 10psi because that is all that it can read.

My first suggestion. Do you have a data log, this will help to see what the issue is .

Hesitation can be many things, I would check data log and see what the Air fuel ratio and the map position. ( can also be a very rich spot )

Has it always done this or is this issue a recent phenomenon ?
