Maybe the MAP sensor is just registering a higher than allowed reading - i.e. might not be faulty, might just be doing its job? Could there be something causing it to boost too much. Can't be the waste gate/boost solenoid as that's obviously working. Hmm..

You say boost cuts off at 3 to 4k? Cuts off like no boost at all or trys to boost periodically?

It's cutting the fuel due to too much boost pressure. Mine was doing this before, leaking vacuum lines were to blame.
