You need much larger injectors and a TUNE! TUNE TUNE TUNE! If you're still driving the car, I'd disconnect the wastegate flapper (if it's internal gate) so you can't build any boost. That motor will blow if you keep driving it as is.

That cut-out feeling is fuel since the stock tune has no idea what to do with that much airflow and the injectors, even at 100% duty cycle, can't flow enough fuel for the air.

What turbo is on the kit?

yes the cuting off is probably your car leaning out, which is really bad i would pick up some bigger injectors and do a tune
