Is this overboost cutoff?

1993 Aero. On occasion, when I accelerate hard usually in 3rd gear ( eg merging onto highway ), there's a hard BANG like I just hit a huge pothole and the engine cuts for just a fraction of a second. Doesn't happen every time but is disconcerting when it does.
I guess what I'm asking, is the overboost cutoff just a fraction of a second kind of thing like I'm experiencing or something else that would actually make a significant difference in acceleration?
The car boosts well into the red in 2nd/3rd/4th, when it's in the red the boost kind of hunts up and down a little, enough that you can feel it. Base boost is around 6.5 psi. Max boost pegs my test gauge at 15psi.
Thanks for opinions!
