Well, when you break it down, it can only be one of three things, right? It's not getting SPARK, FUEL, or AIR. Now it's probably not air, but I suppose it could be. That'd be my last place to look. HOWEVER, that said, it may have a vacuum leak, cause both a) the turbos not to boost and b) the engine cutting out after a bit. Although, vacuum leaks normally cause idling issues.
If the turbos aren't spooling though, it may be something to do with the fuel. IE it's not getting enough hence not enough gas flow, or more likely the other end of the scale, for some other reason it's getting too much fuel, and not igniting it properly hence making the turbos not spool properly.
Although
My favourite option would be your ignition system, as everybody else has said. If it's such a finite cut off point, it's more likely to be ignition. The ignition, surprisinly would actually affect the turbos spooling quite a lot.
So, that said, my first port of call would be.
Check leads and cap.
Change spark plugs.
Get a multi-meter and check the voltage levels going to ignitors and coils and such.
That said, it could be power or signal to the AFM or something like that too, so check those bits and pieces.
put a timing light on it and see what it does too.
