Default can anyone help

s1 rs turbo boosts up fine in first and second but when into 3rd and higher it cuts out
the rev counter drops off,if you hold your foot down when the revs drop it picks back up again or if you take your foot off the throttle and back on it goes again
dose anyone have any ideas

A standard ECU will only allow around 10psi at most before cutting the ignition, which i think is what your experiencing. either get the boost turned down or have a chip fitted, standard boost is about 7-8psi
