Default Boost controller again

I earlier wrote a post about how my car was not getting enough fuel when I installed a manual boost controller. I'm not quite sure as to what brand the mbc is but there are no other mods to my engine. I think I'm running about 15 pounds but when I turn it down, my motor still does the cutting out. The positive results are the turbo screams and the blow off valve is louder than I ever imagined. It's just at a little after a quarter throttle the car starts jerking but as soon as the clutch goes in or the gas is let off, it is back to normal. Any suggestions such as different fuel injectors or fuel pump or ecu upgrade?

Try getting it chipped, if its not already, that can help with fuel and timing other then that, the Kaboom isnt far off

how exactly do you know that the bucking is being caused by a lack of fuel?

one of my mbc controller lines popped off one day, 20psi and no chip = bad things, the cars feels like it hits a brick wall when it runs out of fuel, bucks like a bronco
