Big update: i checked how much pressure it takes to open the wastegates with a mity vac and they are stiffer then stock!! 6-7 psi just to start moving the arm. So kind of a really stupid screw up on my end i guess. dont ever believe what your told is the lesson here. Hope to hear from Mike tomorrow and get a new tune

Glad someone else said it. A good tuner should be helping you diagnose this. The full-race page says they should work fine on a stock tune but work the best with custom tuning. There is something very simple thats lying under your issues. Checking wastegates was a good step. Im curious what bovs are on them as the kompacts are adjustable and would cause driveability issues if theu are too hard/soft. Stockers may not be strong enough or could have a leak. Thatd be my next avenue to check. Do your troubleshooting on the stock tune then work your way to custom again.

After almost 2 days i got a new tune for 7psi wastegates. Ill need to try this out now and get back to you guys. Mike is helping alot more then i could ask for. I have turbosmart bovs installed and adjusted. They needed to be a full turn tighter then my stock turbos to run the truck.
If this tune doesnt work im starting to think i have a intake manifold leak. Ive had my engine replaced (just the block) about 3 years ago. Ill need to check this yet simple fix if thats the problem
