Well I just got a hold of Justin and he confirmed what I had thought/hoped it was. Injector flow rate was off in the tune. I'm a retard 
Happy it was something small though and I don't have to start taking stuff apart.
Ordered the autocal so hopefully it gets here by this weekend so I can fix the tune and go do some cruisin.

Thanks man, haven't forgot about the parts list/write up, working on it this week, addin pictures and some of the issues I ran into and things that would have saved me some time had I know beforehand.
Yeah I agree, I was gonna put the gate dead smack in the middle of the merge but I decided to just throw it there to keep the area a little less cluttered, as it is that whole area is tight and I'm not the most skilled fabricator 
The whistle is sooooo loud. Its the .68 a/r on there now but when I picked the turbo up from nelson he included a .96 housing as well. I guess I can play with each to pick the one I like best but the early spool of the .68 seems like its going to be a blast to drive on the streets.

Well I got the autocal on Friday, however, another mistake by me and still not running.
I wanted to go the autocal route to save some time shipping the ecu back and forth and to get the truck dialed in better/safer. I did not read the whole section on the autocal on BlackBear's website and missed the part where I needed to request my tune through a different email. I assumed because I had talked to Justin that it would have my tune on it already. Needless to say the autocal that showed up on friday was empty and I had to request the change through the other email address and unfortunately I was unaware untill friday evening.
Soooo frustrating, truck has been done for two weeks just sitting until the tune is straightened out. Not blaming Blackbear at all, in fact, the tunes I received from Justin had the truck running so well that the truck seemed to be begging for me to add more go fast parts. I would recommend Blackbear to anyone and in fact have already pointed a few people there for tunes.
So there is my little cry baby rant
This week should be it though, driving by the 10th no if ands or buts

UPDATE:
Got the tune in from Justin and loaded it in, been raining the past few days and was finally dry enough for me to take it out for a spin tonight.
Truck is unreal, spool is super fast and LOUD, BOV is equally loud. Only went full throttle once from a 45 mph cruise, it downshifted and immediately broke the tires loose and got sideways. Looking forward to doing some logging this weekend and then getting the tune touched up by Justin.
Few things left to fiddle with, BOV is open at idle, need to play with the spings/adjustment screw to get it perfect.
Don't think the wastegate is opening either, kept a close eye on the boost gauge and at the partial throttle runs never let it get above 6psi but the wot run it hit 8psi before I got out of it. Spring in the gate is supposed to be a 4PSI spring. Aside from those two minor issues the truck is runnning great and seems like its going to be a blast to drive. Got a nice weekend coming up so expect some decent vids this weekend.
