Quick update, I got the hotside changed out. No change in anything..
Did a boost leak test on my dad compressor and it would hold pressure in the line for about a minute starting at 20psi.
Im not sure if maybe my hta71 is just fubar or maybe my boost solenoid crapped again.. There's no apparent damage to it. I have kinked the line going to the boost solenoid from the turbo to see if this changes anything. It should, last time I just unplugged the solenoid to wga line and didn't think about it spewing air out that line on top of all the boost leaks I had at the time probably was why it wouldn't spike boost. We'll see.

Wish I had thought of this!!
FP ended up wanting to see my turbo so I sent it back to them, they found it had a standard wheel in the reverse rotation housing and fixed it, threw in a bunch of stuff for free and just backed up everything awesome I've ever heard about them.
Turbo is on the car now and making 25+ psi finally.
Thanks for the help and suggestions!

I put on a 35r turbo kit and got retuned and the car is running a lot better. I didn't change anything else besides the turbo, licp, exhaust mani. Maybe the smaller turbo and high psi was affecting my low rpms. I think my problem may have also been weather too. But I'm not 100% sure on the weather part bec it didn't happen to any other guys that I know.
