I'm not exactly sure what is happening to my ER34 but let me describe some details.....

The ER34 (Turbo) experiences power cut on high revs. I've had it happened on 4th gear @ 5,000rpm around 130km/h and at times at lower rpm. Thus it is not easily replicable.

The car started to have these cuts after the boost was upped using HKS EVC IV. Highest recorded boost now is 0.78

The car has a straight pipe, cat-back exhaust, open pod, and uses NGK Iridium Iriway 7 plugs.

What is happening to my ride? Boost cut? Fuel cut?

Go to your mechanic and get your car tuned on a dyno.

My car only runs .75 Bar due to the factory computer as the factory computer makes the do funny thiny if you increase the boodst anymore.

The other option is the get a fuel cut defender which will allow you to up the boost but you will still need to get the car tuned.

The best option is to get a power fc and enjoy running 12psi constantly and be done with it.

Fuel cut defender is not that advisable

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
