When I first got my emissions chip to help me pass, I had this problem where the car would cut out under a hint of boost.

I sent back the chip and it was returned with a bit more fuel added. I popped it in, and....yep...same problem.
I thought I'd disconnect the wastegate this time as a last resort problem solver. Now, with the turbo not even in the picture, the car STILL sputters out if I get on the gas (albeit a bit harder on the gas than with the turbo hooked up). I watched the scanmaster and the cutout occurs around 2.6 on the TPS. All other readings on the scanmaster don't move from the ordinary while the car is sputtering and bucking (it continues to do it as long as I hold the gas down). This may be because it can't even update given the circumstances. I didn't want to keep it sputtering more than 10 seconds or so anyway since I can't imagine it's healthy.
So, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON??
Fuel is still set to 43 lbs. Car idles great and runs fine under light gas. I planned on going down to MD to try emissions again tomorrow morning, so any ideas soon would be great! I still may try to limp down there and tell them "there's a valet chip in it so don't stomp it." I have a bad feeling though.
And again, like in the post above, if I pop my Jay C 93 chip back in and don't touch anything, the car screams.
At least we know now it's not DIRECTLY related to boost.
Thanks
