What else are you running? Stock ECU? Boost controller? It could be a boost cut off or fuel cut off built into the stock ECU.

check your spark plugs.....make sure its the right gap, and that they are still in good shape.

how many LBS are you pushing. Very good chance you need bigger injectors.

no it's not acting like it's leaking. it'll pull hard as hell until the engine warms up.
