The timing marks may line up but the cam could be off if the Mivec gear let go or it is not getting any oil flow to it.

See what the timing shows at idle in a datalog.

If the turbo is ok, I would peel back the wire loom of the harness where the cas and main harness come together to about the level of mid fuel rail. I have had 2 9's recently melt the grounds together and grounded out the coil and one injector.

And the bolt on the exhaust camshaft didn't come lose by chance? The one that holds the metal piece on for the camshaft sensor to work? IDK for sure. Just some ideas to throw around.
when it first broke. "first day first thing we did was log timing." timing at idle and driving normal was dead on. The camshaft sensors are good. The crank is not throwing a CEL light so im guessing it is not that but i could replace it.

Im really leaning to something timing related bc it sounds like your car is building boost out of the gate, but if its a stock turbo I suppose this may be possible. What did you gap your plugs at? Don't think its this issue but if you did something crazy....

Im on a FP Black not a stock turbo. The plugs are gapped it .018-.020 im pretty sure it is not the plugs.

Yea... You shouldn't be able to free rev and get 3-5lbs of boost. So I think you should check timing issues. If you have truely checked everything one last thing that is possible but not likely, it could be your ecu....

Did you log the mivec advance? It goes with melted wires, but if the mivec signal is grounded, it may keep the intake fully advanced which gives max overlap and basically no vacuum.

Like I say, its just what I have run into recently and just an idea.

I would hook up a mechanical boost gauge in it, and also check the TPS Sensor. Sounds like the TPS sensor is not dead on...

im not following you 100%

my idle should be around 1,100 RPM. it is idle at 500-600RPM "shown in video. I no my TPS is working because if i unplug it or try starting it without it connect it throws a CEL

when you log TPS it shows a percentage...the percentage represents how open the plate is. Typically you should be at 0% at idle and 13-20% at cruise and 100% at WOT
