I have a stock ct with 3"exhaust and a boost controller set to about 11 or 12psi, but the other day it was kinda cold outside and everytime I floored it I hit fuel cut. I backed the pressure down a little on the bc, but had to lower it a couple times until I didnt hit it anymore. I hit fuel cut about 8 times. the car seems to run fine and that was about a month ago, but I'm wondering if I did any harm to the motor or if it should be fine?
thanks,
Ryan

I dont remember what code it was but overpressure or something was one of them. would it be harmful to hit it repeatedly like 10 times not letting off the gas?

i dont think that was fuel cut then, i doesn`t let you keep boosting for like 3 seconds, it feels like the car is going to die for a while.

How have you not hit fuel cut?

hitting fuel cut in a supra doing 80 in 5th is not nearly as bad as hitting fuel cut in a Honda doing 130.

I was racing a guy once and it hit really violently in second gear right as i pulled up to him. I bet he thought I had hydraulics or something. the car bounced really bad when it happened but I didnt let off and it bounced about 4 more times shifted to third and it bounced some more. ya my head was slamming against my headrest and I felt like I was going to do a wheelie :) glad it prolly didnt damage anything and I still flew past him he couldnt keep up even with the violent jerking my car was doing. he prolly thought my car was gonna blow up or something.
