does sound like fuel cutoff

If you have a US spec '89 9kt with a 2 liter engine, you don't have the DI cassette.
It sounds like the fuel cutoff, but that engine does allow boosting into the red, about 1/3 of the way. How high does your boost go until you lose power? You may have a malfunctioning BPC valve, as someone else mentioned, allowing higher boost and kicking in the fuel cutoff. If you can find someone with a good BPC to borrow, that would provide you with your diagnosis. You'll want to try this before replacing, as it costs about $200. It's an easy switch of the component, which sits up on top of the fan housing at the front of the engine and has three hoses and one electrical connection on it.
