Shut off as in powered completely off or shut off as in its not working now and you are just on wastegate pressure?

Maybe you have a loose wire somewhere?

Powers off but I still hear the turbo go off if that helps.

Yeah if the boost controller is not working your turbo still works (mechanically) its just controlled by wastegate.

Sounds like a wire got loose (hopefully) or the unit itself is hosed.

I know you have a loose wire did you use those ghetto *** splicers that come with it. Be warned they get loose overtime . I hand placed my wires together and electrical taped it tight making good connection.
