Default cutting out

alright folks, the scooby has recently been cutting out after stopping hard, i.e pulling up to lights, juntions etc etc, it only happends when im driving the car on full boost, then have to all of a sudden slam the brakes on, it dont always cut out but will start to cut out if not it will fully cut out, any one know what might be causing this, iv checked to see if theres a leak in any of the lines but all seems fine.

if the car is a 99/00 classic then I would suggest replacing the maf sensor.
