I have an 89t with a newly rebuilt motor. 3" exhaust, 2.5" hardpipes, spearco replica. I just installed an autometer boost gauge. In 3rd gear at 5,000rpm the engine abruptly stops pulling. The gauge says im hitting 11psi when it happens. what could cause this? i dont have a boost controller either.
I think I'm hitting fuel cut @ 11psi

You're hitting 11psi with just intake and exhaust?? Maybe your wastegate actuator isn't functioning properly? I would check the vac line to the wastegate actuator. Also, fuel cut is normally around 11psi, so that sounds about right.
Does the engine feel like it misses or does the power just seem to fall off? Also did it flash the check engine light?
Mines badass when it hits fuel cut LOL check engine light, puffs of black smoke and popping exhaust WOOT WOOT. lol
You can't miss fuel cut...it's rather dramatic and the check engine light will illuminate 
With a stock AFM you'll it it at 12 psi +/-
Check for boost leaks in your IC piping.
