So I pulled codes 107 & 113. My wife drove the car and said the boost gauge was reading all over the place, from 0-24. Looked at it when I got home and the OEM boost solenoid nipples were not capped. I understand that since I'm using a manual boost controller these do not have to be capped. Does anyone know if this is true or not. I'm going to pull the intake again and reinstall it. I still feel like this is a MAF sensor error or something to do with the intake but any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

So I removed the UICP again and checked for any loose connections. Picked up some caps for the boost solenoid nipples and will double check the connection with the intake. Hopefully this fixes the problem if I am having a boost leak somewhere. Will report back.
So I believe the problem is fixed. After checking all hoses and pipe connection I reinstalled the LICP since it felt very loose to me. Boost is holding in normal ranges. I filled the new radiator up as well as the overflow tank and went out for a little drive. The overflow reservoir is a definitely lower but no leaks detected. Thanks to everyone who chimed in for this.
So looks like I will be installing a new radiator. Drove car the other day and once parked in the garage could smell coolant. Investigated all hoses and saw no obvious leaks. Did however see coolant pooling up at the top of the radiator where the plastic meets metal which leads me to believe the plastic is cracked or the seal around the metal teeth has been compromised. Car is running normal temps however coolant reservoir level does fluctuate more than normal. Mishimoto radiator should be here on Saturday. Hopefully installation finds no further problems. Looking for reviews on the Mishimoto rad cap, wondering if I should give it a shot or pick up an alternative.
A leaking head gasket can cause radiator problems has it ever gotten hot?
