It can't be fuel cut unless you're over 19psi. However you'll feel it when you hit fuel cut.

A galant vr-4 I was looking at buying had this same problem and I never actually figured it out. Bringing the base timing down did help, but didn't completely rid the problem. However I never did a boost leak test.

My next guess would be the fuel pump, after a good boost leak test.
To do boost leak tests you should use soapy water on the couplers.
