could this problem be a boost leak? if i remember correctally it all started after i test fitted my TMIC on. could be that i forgot something and its leaking out the boost, my gauge is hooked off the intake and my TurboXS MBC is hooked to the compressor housing and the wastegate.

Actually, yeah, it could very well be a boost leak. Check the pipe between the compressor and throttle body, and check the blowoff valve.
