Please read,need advice/help

I have a s5 turbo with intake and rb turbo back,from when i had the car..i got a new engine put in with a 20b pump,stock primaries and either 680cc or 720cc secondaries with a afc that was not tuned properly also injectors that were not installed properly,finally got hte injector issue fixed,also got a stock turbo rebuilt.when i was breaking in the engine the check engine light came on only on highway drivin,when i idled for awhile the light went away(i know i have to pull the code for the check engine light problem)..i was getting no boost,mechanic forgot to put on the wastegate,still no boost after connecting the wastegate,i was driving around for awhile in 3rd gear then mis-shifted bad to 2nd gear and the tach stayed at about 8 grand for awhile..and this raw white gas smell started to come out a week later,then i got the turbo rebuilt again with ported wastegate..finally got boost at 6lbs then the raw white gas got worse and it smells like raw gas fumes,not loosing coolant no bubbles in coolant either.did my seals take a **** revving it past 8 grand and thats why im getting this raw white gas smell?only happens at idle and when im shifting the car hard theres no smoke or nething just at idle,also in the raw white gas smeill i see oil burning(which may due to the over revving)i still do not under stand the raw white smoke that smells heavily with gas and burns my eyes a bit..i still get the check engine light which i will figure out...i just need to know if any of these actions would of caused a seal to take a **** that would cause this symptom regarding the white raw gas smoke and smell

Thank you for your patience to read this over i know its alot but thats all thats happened which concluded to my car being "fucked"

this will also determine what im going to do with a new engine as in getting a haltech or whatnot..thanks..cuz summers coming along and i dont have my license so i have a whole year to fix/work on the car..

raw white gas smoke coming out of exhaust after i over revved engine past 8 grand which sat at 8 grand for a bit..no power loss,only at idle,no bubbles in coolant,gas fumes kinda burns eyes..i have more info in the last post..thats the basic problem though,if it were a seal in the engine what seal would cause this.
thanks

I'd do a compression check.Home grown compression check would be good enough to figure is there is a tossed apex seal.If that was good, I'd chunk the afc and injectors and put the thing back to original and start from there.

Edit: oh yeah. Chunk the pump also.
