Could a fuel cut based on air flow be placed in the tune as a safety?

I am new to the BRZ and FRS platform, but I have done a couple hundred turbo installs. This looks like installer/user error. I see a lot of people try to beat their cars into running right..only to have disastrous consequences like this. Sorry to the OP. This is a tough pill to swallow and many of us including myself have been there.

The springs on the MVR/MVS wastegates can be pretty confusing, especially the older ones where the springs colors all seemed like tan, taupe, gold, beige and light brown.

I lost an 800whp motor during the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge this year (do to a casting flaw in an oem part). I have a t-shirt from the event. I call it my $10,000 t-shirt.

Car has one map sensor on the intake manifold. I have alllll my forced induction customers replace it with a plug and play sensor that reads higher and configure a boost cut.

Having a MAF based boost cut is a interesting idea.. I can 100% do that..

Even with a boost cut setup the car can go lean because of a bad fuel pump install ... you wouldn't know unless the car was in the 14af range ( because it'll start breaking up ).. Car will run fine in the 13s
