falling on its face, ALMOST got the hiccups oWt! Options

hey guys, i have recently been in the habit of pulling a a lagos move( )and ive been babying my car until dyno tune time... my car has emanage blue with a base map to get me by until then.

sorry if i explain too long...

my question is ive noticed that when i go WOT when i reach a certain speed/rpm the motor cuts out, as if hit fuel cut. now ive experienced this once before, and i will just say i was going way over the speed limit, but this time i was just around 80. after this, my check engine light came on, and i noticed that i couldnt get into boost (i hear it spooling but no response) it sorta felt like i had a leak somewhere.

I pull over, check my fittings, ic piping etc and everythings good. what i noticed when i turned the car back on was that the check engine light was no longer on, but it was still acting as if it wouldnt go into boost. I wait until daytime to be sure there is nothing loose, and take it for a brief run... no problems. (mind you i didnt get on it hard though)

what do you guys think caused the brief stopping of the motor? im inclined to think that it was fuel cut (due to the base tune done)

oh i forgot to mention, my wideband usually reads 10-11 even when cruising, but sometimes i hear/feel a small hickup and it will jump to 14 when cruising. i noticed now that when i accelerate, it goes from 10 to 14, (at about 4k rpm) then back down to ten. am i right in assuming that this is just a tuning hickup and wait? if not what should i check next?

again, sorry i typed so much, just wanted to be as detailed as possible for those without ADD like me, can ya help me out?

did you try checking the other things listed by the codes? Intake air temp sensor connected?
any piggy backs installed? if so, it could be a bad install job causing you these problems.

the intake air temp that goes into the manifold is installed, but the one on the intake isnt (i will drill a hole in there this week) yeah i have a emanage blue

my car has emanage blue with a base map to get me by until then.

Who installed this and setup it up? Sounds like its wiring related or something is not setup in that emanage with all those codes that its throwing.
You should remove the emanage, put the wiring back to stock, and see if the problem goes away.

all codes are gone now! the knock code, and the O2 sensor code are gone after being replaced. the check engine light flashed constantly showing no codes, but after that drive, i will check again. i think it was a ****ty base tune job though, but i will try to replace the BOV first
