Default KF tx3 turbo cutting out

Hey all, Ford Laser TX3 Turbo FWD KF 1990....
I turn a corner, and the car wont rev? it jerks
I flat foot in 2nd gear on a straight, and the car revs up but cuts out as the revs are increasing
im running 12psi, my g-reddy boost controller screen shows the boost is dropping when the car jerks...

im curious it may be fuel pressure problems ( due to me turning it cuts out, used to be only when under 1/4 a tank, now it does it at 1/2 tank, and the car idles like crap ) , whats the pressure meant to be? ill wack a guage on it this weekend so see if the pressure drops as i turn a corner to source the problem & check it @ idle.....

cheers, any other thoughts will be appreciated...

Does the Boost cut buzzer sound??

Is it a Standard Turbo? or have you done the VF10 hybrid?

14psi is maximum you can run on a std ecu, so it may just be Overboosting and cutting out? more info required
