Or the ECU could be cutting ignition as a result of an input from 
some source, either erroneous or correctly.  Ignition is cut in 
response to a signal the ECU interprets as overboost or to a signal 
the ECU interprets as engine rpms exceeding the rev limiter.

Overboost can be the result of any number of factors, not the least 
of which, might be a split WG diaphragm or a faulty WGFV or a 
blockage in the WGFV to WG hose.  Exceeding the rev limiter can 
happen (in addition to actually over-revving the engine) as the 
result of an improperly set limit in the ECU software.
