May sound like a stupid thing to say,but run a bleed valve and see if it does the cut out still.using a bleed,make sure you got a boost gauge so you dont run stupid boost.
Your amal valve shouldnt have a screw of any kind on it.all hoses should flow air.wish i could help more on the amal valve but ive never had one since owning a rs.

I think his thing with the screw IS his bleed valve.

Take it to someone who knows what they are doing, before its too late. Is this a NEW NEW engine? if so try running it in.
