Basically stock GTS-T, full 3" exhaust fron turbo back, high flow cat. Boost controller set to 10psi. Auto.

Car is ok if driving lightly on throttle, if you gradually accelerate its not too bad but put foot down and it cuts out

Read a lot of conflicting advice on here about R&R, airflow cut etc..

Any ideas?

It'll be AFM hitting peak voltage.

AFM sees so much air that the ECU thinks it's failing or something is broken, so it goes into failsafe until the voltages drop back down.

Not much you can do cept get a ECU (and replacement AFM), either piggyback or full replacement. Not recommended to go with a "fuel cut defender" type device since all they do is fake the AFM signal once it goes "out of spec" of what the ECU expects, but AFM signal is used to plot load on your fuel map, so the ECU will start leaning out the engine and cause bad things to happen :D

You can try and drop the boost back down on the controller, its probably going a bit over where you expect it to sit, just bring it back down a PSI at a time till it stops doing it. Also remember air temp affects AFM readings and air density as well, so cold nights naturally raise your airflow in.

Cuts out meaning stops altogether? Keeps going but feels soft? Picks up later?

There threads are pretty common, you need to perform basic troubleshooting

1. Check/clean AFM

2. Check/inspect coils

3. Check spark plugs

4. Check all electrical connections 3 times each

5. Ensure timing is set correctly

6. Back off the boost and see what happens, goes away = R&R

And go from there really.

Thanks guys.

Cutting out.. sometimes it just cuts revs altogether, normally happens around 4500 - 5k other times it revs but feels like its making bugger all power.

Sometimes it will rev out, but just feels very soft

Coils are brand new Splitfires, plugs are new, gapped to .8.

i had the same issue but only wen it was raining turned out to be moisture in the igniter pack. would cut all 6 cylinder car would nose dive but wen i backed off the throttle it straight back to driving normal. never backfired nethin like that wen it cut the spark etc just wouldnt go at all. was a down rite pain in the arse . so another thing for u to check

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
