What do you mean by "motor kicks out"? Are you hitting fuel cut, because that's what it sounds like? Is the car bone stock, or modified? Have you played with boost control at all?

Yeah, sounds like fuel cut to me for sure. Does it hit hard and make you think you're going to eat the steering wheel?

yes that's it all right.So what kind of parts should i look into so i can rev farther than 5 grad. im putting in a k&N air filter and getting rid of the rubber intake hosesand im looking at new muffler. should i buy a bigger fuel pump or is there other things i should look at before a bigger fuel pump.
