Fuel cut & weather or mods????

Having a hard time trying to figure this one out.
If anyone can provide any help it will be greatly appreciated.
I'm hitting fuel cut pretty hard whenever it's below 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
It happens around 5000 rpm. Last Thursday I installed a Helix 3" downpipe and cat delete
plus the anti-foul plug cel fix. Currently running Buschur 3" cat back. Everything seemed fine,
although may have been the weather. Friday did a custom intake pipe with the Buschur filter I had
been running previously with stock pipe on turbo. Also running SAFC at -13% at 6400 rpm (pretty
conservative) mapped this way is yielding about 10.8 to 12 to 1 on zeitronix wideband. I turned
boost controller all the way down Still running about 19psi with little taper. On saturday I hit fuel
cut, threw a CEL, and chilled out the rest of the way home. Removed the intake pipe an put stock back on.
Running like a champ on sunday when it was in the 80's. On my way to work this morning I was in 3rd put my foot
into and it cut again. Mid 50's this morning. I'm slowly de-modding until I can figure which component is causing the cut.
But if anyone has a direction I could head it would help alot.
Peace

hey man, its just going to happen unless you get reflashed or some type of managment where you can control your fuel cut. Trust me, I am having the same problems, Turned my boost down a little the ohter night and seems to be fine for now, hope to get better managment sometime soon though. Good luck.

yup, turn down the boost

Edit: I wonder if you could avoid fuel cut if you ran a lil more rich?
