I don't know anything about turbo you got but with lexus afm and 550cc , fuel cut ( spark cut ) should be around 23psi on 57trim ct26 ( 420rwh) with good tune . you might have boost leak some where ; btw colder temperature should increase fuel cut , because i'll run leanner .

Ummm...1st, it is fuel cut (not spark cut).
2nd, if you're getting 23 psi out of a Lex/550 combo, you're are running some sort of piggyback controller.

Warm weather, 16-18 psi on a stock TCCS
Cold weather, drop that to 14 psi or so.

I do agree about the boost leak ;)

check 7MPOWER.COM Raymond made 422 rwh out of 550cc/lexus afm and safcii +57trim ct26 23psi of boost ! also in cold weather air is condense and by the time it go to intake manifold it's expanded .

And what does that have to do with fuel cut?

This response makes no sense.

I would suspect a boost leak, I believe there was away to check for leaks on the SOGI.com website if I recall. First off just check all your clamps are tight.

Are you running hardpipes? aftermarket intercooler? AFPR, or piggy back controller?

You may wanna Start looking at adding this stuff, cause if you don't have any leaks, your hitting fuelcut for a reason and over taxing the fuel system at one point things may go boom in the night.
