Its hitting Boost Cut! You will need to buy a Fuel Cut Defender or known more commonly as an FCD!
Your other option is to source a Blitz Access ECU or Toms Ecu or Mines ECU or Sard Ecu... As these all have the factory speed and boost limits removed!
Also a Boost controller cannot Lower the boost any lower than the airflow and wastegates will flow! They can only alter it for more PSI

you have to be careful when turning down a turbosmart bleed valve. If you screw it in all the way, you actually max out the turbo. Thats why its only getting to 14 p.s.i. before cutting in hard. If you had a fcd you would notice it going up to 22pounds.
