Hey all, so recently I’ve been noticing when i accelerate I sometimes will end up going past 10psi and getting fuel cut.

I don’t run a boost T or anything like that, so I shouldn’t be going over the normal stock boost levels.

Im guessing it’s potentially a wastegate issue.

I’m planning on replacing the actuator, but is there any other part I should look at that might be the culprit? I’m trying to price out the project.

Or maybe it’s something completely different.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Make sure spill control valve screw has not been messed with (cap off or mangled). Sticks out of top of injection pump head.
 
^ Correct,

Also but less common of a cause is a clogged up hose to the MAP sensor. There is a little filter that gets full of soot and gum due to EGR and PCV deposits. The filter itself is very cheap to replace but a lot of people neglect to clean the short hose/port that feed to it from the intake manifold. A quick poke with a suitable rod and some compressed air does a good job.

Worth doing anyway since it's so easy.

Best of luck!
