fuel cut has nothing to do with mph. Sounds like he may have popped an intercooler pipe/hose off. Check for loose hoses or clamps. also check the mass air flow sensor (plug at the intake box).

What do you mean sounds like Subaru?
Does it run on its own when started?
If it does run, does it runs smoothly ?
Does it have good oil pressure?
Good compression?
There is no fuel cut at 110.US specs VR4 didn't have one unless JDM ECU is used there is no fuel cut based on speed
Fuel cut will happen on
1)Overrun protection Fuel is cut at 7300 RPM to prevent internal damage to the engine. The fuel activation signals are restored when engine speed falls below the threshold value.
2)Overboosting most common problem-I don't know what kind of mods you have so I can't speculate
3)Deceleration fuel cut . You probably won't even know i it's happening
CHecked for stored trouble codes?
