Fuel cut is very distinctive... it feels almost like you drove your car into a wall, and only right at 14.5 psi (never below that). You may be right - 2nd gear may go by too fast to hit the fuel cut boost level.

Try this as a test :

Don't use it long-term or the longevity of your turbos can suffer.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
