mystery problem 850 1994

this problem started about 4 days ago and does not happen all the time, but it wirries me.

i have installed a manual boost controller that bypasses the ECU(13-14psi), cone filter, and 2.5" cat-back bexhaust.

figured i should say anything and everything i have done to not leave anything to the imagination.

i was driving down the street one day and was in second gear, floored it just to hear the boost b/c i love the sound of it and let off about 4,500 rpms. at the same time i let off, i think it cut fuel off for just half a second, if that. that was the first time it had done that. i was unsure whether me letting off had caused the problem, or it was the car. the next night i did the same thing and just gunned it in second, again the same syptom, but i did not let off the gas so i know something was shutting down. but it did not stay off but for about half a second. it did it 2 other times that night and i have no tried it again. it only does it in second gear at 4,500 rpms. if i floor it from first to second, it will not happen. only if i am in second, and just go from there. no other gear has this problem. the stock boost guages needle is at the end of the white, but does not go off the white.

This problem has me very worried and would like to know what the hell is going on wiht my car. it has already sucked up all my money b/c i found out the last guy lied to me about a couple of things that he replaced, that were not done right or not at all.

i have a leaking oil return line, which is being fixed on friday. the guy said it had a new turbo in at 90k, but i am not sure whether i believe him or not.

the engine light is on for the first 3-4 minutes of running then cuts off, and that is being checked on friday also.

sorry for makinf this so long, but i just put down anything i could think of.
