I'm having a problem where my car will hit fuel cut or at least feel like its hitting fuel cut as soon as my boost gauge hits 0. I dont know if anyone else has experienced anything like that. I've done a little searching and not seems to quite fit what I'm experiencing. Any ideas??

Well are you giving it lots of throttle like your trying to boost?

Have you checked your codes? Even if the light is not on.

You let it spring back and then turn it until it deflects on the meter and tighten it.

Boost leak usually comes up with code 34. He says he doesnt have codes. Still wouldnt hurt to check for one.

That makes sence. U sir need a smaller turbo!!!! Jk sorry for the derail
Well a tps sure wont do it. I havent had a o2 sensor signal to the ecu for 4 years and have still not gotten a code for it. Does the cel flash on when this happens?

Cel does flash when you hit fuel cut. Does not stay on. Tps can make the car cut in and out below 3k. Kinda studder. Similar but not the same.

Still wouldnt hurt to check for a boost leak tho.

Bad knock sensors or wiring? Should be throwing a code for it, but it kinda feels like fuel cut and it wont make your CEL stay on.
