Default Car Shuts Off Under Boost?

It's the Silver Bullet... the Silver 2000 S4 Built by Mark and Anthony from PSI-FI.

The car shuts off under boost... cuts off @ about 1.5 bars. Any idea why this would happen... at all?

Default Car stuttering: UPDATE

So, I posted earlier this week about the car fiercely stuttering whenever I hit 10psi. Well, a pressure test did not show any boost leaks. Vag-com did show misfiring on cylinder 6. Change of plugs and all is well. WOO HOO!!!

Default "Thats a bit of a vague post. How about mods done and exactly whats happening."

btw, please change the topic when replying, it makes it easier to scan the board for responses that are relevant.

Default Re: Mods are...

Everything. I don't know the mods exactly as it isn't my car. It's a buddies of mine and he doesn't have access to the internet. He assured me that the "Silver Bullet" was a famous S4

I know it has a crazy about of custom work done. Runs about 1.8 bars of boost. Big cams, full exhaust, two K24 turbos or something like that. I know the information sucks... but i'm working with what I was given. The car probably has close to every mod possible. It's supposed to be the 2nd fastest S4 in the world and fastest Full Trim S4 in the world.

Under boost... about 1.5 bars of boost. The car shuts off. Cuts off, turns off, is not on anymore. If you don't hit that threshold of 1.5 bars the car is fine all the way to redline. You boost passed that and the car turns off.

Has anyone ever had a problem like this before? I'll do just check what they did and go from there.
