#3 the CAMS? You mean that you PULLED the valvecover and installed adjustable camshaft gears and while on the dyno you repeatedly pulled the valvecover and made small incremental adjustments to the camshafts? Doubt it. Plus, that is not a "bolt on" modification and you should have mentioned it much earlier. Remove the adjustable camshaft gears if you are using them.
#4 The GT28 from the S15 sr20det is best used around 13PSI for longevity purposes
#5 anything over 15psi and you risk damaging the engine (with oem injectors/turbo). It will pit the head and deck and make the engine UN-rebuilable, that is, trash the engine permanently. I have seen it happen enough to know. That is why the engine is fuel cutting on you; it is trying to prevent you from doing permanent damage.
If you have OEM injectors and OEM maf and OEM ecu and OEM turbo there is NO REASON to use any king of piggyback computer such an SAFC for any reason whatsoever. You spent $$$ on it for NO Reason and the "tuner" did absolutely nothing.

The timing was off and the guy that tuned it fixed it. I know this because he told me and he's one of, if not the best tuners for sr's around. He didn't use the neo to adjust it. And no I don't have adjustable cams, I meant the cam angle sensor (I'm not the best at talking car tech, this is my first venture out into this world so I got a lot of learning to do lol) and as far as the life of the turbocharger I think 15lbs is a good mix between power and longevity. I'm thinking I might have a bad actuator or something since it hit 17lbs. I do have stock injectors, ecu and turbo but I have a z32 MAF. There's no way I spent money for no reason. My car feels amazing now all the way through the rpm range and it has so much more power. The tune got my car right where I want it. A little hiccup like this isn't going to discourage me from what all I had done man. I can feel that my car is so much better and is much happier. After I fix the occasional fuel cut I'm going to be 100% satisfied. I just gotta figure out what's causing it. I really appreciate your input so please keep it coming**
