Default Seems like fuel cut?

Car : 2005 Subaru WRX
Modifications : 3inch turbo back, Ram intake, Utec Delta Stage 1 base map. Sard R2D2

Problem that occurred was I was with a friend as he was driving and he went thru 1-2 to 6500rpm, then went into 3rd and at 5000 rpm, acceleration stopped and felt similar to fuel cut ( No acceleration, but no noise)

This happend just after installation of the Sard R2D2

boost leak does not cause overboost, unless it is intermittent. Find out if your piggy back or ECU has a boost/fuel cut setting.

Stock ECU has an overboost cut if I remember correctly. If you have a leak you won't overboost..
