so NCGalant and I were tuning my car some more today, seems that boost leaks accounted for the majority of my problems, we built a tester and pressurized the system, we found the the MBC itself was leaking, a little thread tape fixed that. there is also a leak at the injectors too... have to get parts next week and fix that later.... i the process, we swapped out the hose that goes from the BOV to the intake pipe, and the vac line that goes from the boost controller to the plastic "T" that connects to the BOV (hard to describe)

fine tuned the translator and set the MBC at 17 lbs and she runs better than ever

boost leaks suck, glad you found them. About 4 months ago, while installing my MBC, I found a massive rip in one of my pipes.....threw on my boost gauge, and saw a lively spike at 5PSI

After replacement, the car ran like a bat out of hell.
