Help!!! Multiple issues
Thank you for the reply.
Uicp = upper intercooler piping. You are rite about returning it back to stock n then starting over. That's on my to do list as of rite now. But I was hoping that someone might have or might have had these similar issues and maybe learn from this or give us the helpful info on how to fix this. I figured it's 2017 so the car has been around for 11 years now so maybe there would be some gurus out there that can help me.
This really pisses me off. I'm thinking nose plant into a pole = fixed by April.

Get a stock throttle body and coils. OEM is good to 500+ whp. Who knows what's going on with your COP kit.
I forgot about the compression test: either the test was done wrong, the engine was too cold, or your engine is toast. It should jump to 90 then reach 140-145ish after about seven cranks.
I agree: go back to stock and start over, if you can. Otherwise, you could be chasing your tail for a long time.
And again: just because your turbo is new doesn't mean it's not bad. It's $500 for a reason.
Good luck, dude! Don't give up!

Update.
So I gapped my plugs down to .016 n the rapid misfire went away but the car feels like it's struggling when I go wot. So I will update again after I get my coils in and my new tb in.

Every one of your modifications has the potential to cause a problem.
So where do you start?
The first one?
Everything affects everything else.
What's a uicp?
What's the other thing?
Custom COP?
Don't need it .
Get rid of it.
By the time it's back to stock, it'll run better than it's done for years.
Then you can try to modify it?

You don't know what UICP stand for yet you parade around here acting like you know what you're talking about? I literally can't.

This guy right here...
I swear to God, I try to get him to explain himself, and then he runs away.
Sounds like a Cupcake. Go Hide in your Safe Place for your Safe Space.
Take these with you!
On to the OP.
Your Coil setup could be an issue, but chances are, No. COP setups don't change tuning that much, they are usually plug and play.
Your Gap on Your plugs should be @ 24 for Boost under 24 PSI...
Chances are, with those compression numbers, your rings are shot, and your getting blow by in boost, and oil saturating the plugs. Pull them and check.
If you did already, what do they look like?

I'd actually take a guess that the low comp numbers are because of the cams.
Either you're a tooth out or they just haven't been degreed.
To degree them properly, the engine has to come out.
But then again, you'll have LOTS of problems so maybe the overboosting broke the pistons too.

I'm thinking I'll do a compression test tomorrow, then wait till my tb gets here n then install and do a compression test and then install my new ngk stock heat range iridium plugs, n then put on some stock coils n pray a lot in between. I will update.
Just do the comp test once. It won't matter which TB is on it May as well do it while the plugs are out. You are doing the comp test when the engine is warm, right? With the TB open? Have you put a few drops of oil in to see if the numbers go up?
