Also, now that the factory airbox+snorkel re-installed, did you make sure to fasten down the snorkel with both fasteners?

correct me if im wrong but wouldnt it be based on boost because the gauge never reads over 19 but it hits fuel cut high up where it fades out ill definatly check all those anything else you think i should check while im at it
Well, yeah it's related to boost, which is why I said to check the MBC connections and IC connections. All your boost runs through the aforementioned items. You boost gauge reads downline, but your turbo produces boost at the source (obviously). YOu may only be seeing 17-19psi or whatever due to a lot of being leaked out, which is causing your turbo to try to work extremely hard to maintain whatever preset boost you're trying to run. This could be causing your problems. Plus, since you thought your stock MR DV was leaking, I'm not 100% certain you're describing the problem to us correctly, so I'm trying to think outside the box. Fuel cut can be caused naturally from the ECU seeing too much airflow and cutting fuel to save the engine. It can be caused by the MAF not being connected or having a bad electrical connection somewhere. It can also happen, or seem to happen, when an IC pipe pops off or comes loose, because it feels like you're hitting a brick wall when the vaccuum is lost.

Personally, I don't like to hook them up off the intake manifold because if there's a boost leak, the turbo will work harder to make up for the leak. However, many others here prefer it the way you installed it. So did you pressurize the system when you checked for leaks?
