seems like overboost protection, maybe, check your boost line to the Cycling valve and to the wastegate, also inspect your CV

If you used the Rogue Tuning chip and Map sensor check these two threads for guidance.

Wow. That OP was two sentences. (with a small one at the end).

Try some caps, punctuation. People will actually be able to read and understand your post better, and will help you.

I had a very similar problem. My mechanic used some kind of smoke tester to test the vacuum lines and I think it ended up being a loose blow-off valve connection that would pop off a bit and dump boost but was intermittent. Problem went away after this was found. Fortunately it was a cheap fix once found. Good luck

How much boost are you running? It sounds like you are hitting overboost protection...
