89 lebaron gtc t2 convertible

i have a g-valve mbc and have had it set all the way down (like 6 or 7 psi) cause i just finished the car and got it on the road like 2 and a half weeks ago

so anyway the other day i decided to turn it up just a little and see what was what i got it up to 10 ish and it seemed ok.... but

going up a pretty steep hill in 3rd i got a surging at about 9 psi or so and between 3500 and 4500 rpm it started surging... kinda its not a really surging, technically its the opposite like as if i were bouncing off the rev limiter

i checked the codes and only got 12 55 so nothing....
i also have a dawes device af guage and it was blue at the time (my foot was on the floor)

needless to say i turned it back down and no more problems at 7psi under any circumstances

what could it be? i would like to at least like to be able to run the stock 13 psi....

where is the your boost gauge and mbc tapped into? Im thinking one or both have leaks and reading incorrectly. Sounds like your hitting the fuel cut out.
