You sure its not overboosting and the chip is cutting it out, thats why when you back off you get all the black smoke of un-burnt fuel.

Have you checked the timing? Sounds like its running rich!

Not a mechanic but had similar problems and it was timing. Would it be possibly an injector. Maybe dumping too much fuel. Maybe someone else can advise on that.

Is it chipped??

If not then thats why it's missing. When you hit 10psi the boost will be cut buy the ECU if it's not chipped.

If it's not chipped and you hit 10psi the ECU will cut the ignition. Try turning the boost down and see what happends

As above a standard ecu wont have anymore than that till it cuts the ignition.
