Have you got a boost gauge? IMO this is essential if you want to use a boost controller (sometimes refered to as a dawes device)

Sounds like the valve has been wound in too much and it's trying to produce far too much boost hence the fuel cut.

If you're running a pretty much standard car then take it off - they can do more harm than good unless they are set up properly and can make the engine run lean. ie Producing more boost but the fueling remains the same as a standard engine. It can/will cause detonation (knock) and destroy your engine
