also on another note i tried to put a home depo BC were it says incert boost controler here on the diagram. and it says to take out the restricter pills.
are the restricter pills in the actual hose or are they some where else? and
if they are in the hose then i might have a problem, because when i pulled my hose out it waqs empty.

Seems that either the mid pipe and stock cat back, or stock main cat and after market cat back would not yeild boost over 10 psi. Since you have moded to the point that is putting you over the 10 psi rule it is a mater of time before you toast your engine.
that's not entirely true, with just intake and a DP i saw 12 psi on a cold night and now i've got GT spec exhaust. But haven't seen over 12 so apparently the stock cat is the thing to have. Too bad mine's shot.

12 is where fuel cut comes in, and where fuel supply with an all-stock system gets scary. But the point is that if you set your boost above 10 (say 11 or 12) you have no margin for error.
If you don't have pills, look in the nipples attached to the compressor. In some turbo assemblies, they reduced the inner diameter at that spot instead.

Now... I haven't been a 3rd gen owner for very long but what about the MAP sensor coming off the back of the Throttle body?
I was thinking maybe that could be having an issue. Without having proper readings of manifold pressure/boost the ecu wouldn't see the proper pressures to open/close the solenoids in time. Thus giving you a boost creep/spike. Or a leak in the line maybe... Or maybe those solenoids have another sensor they get their info from....
Maybe you want to check the line running to the MAP sensor... or the checkvalve which runs to it... I could be way off but it looks like you have tried all the more obvous things.
It couldn't hurt.

hmm, maybe i have no idea where the MAP sensor is but now that u say that... you know the studs that goe thru the intake elbow? well one of them on the bottom broke in half along time ago, i was able to screw the nut back in but maybe it didnt make a proper seal. what dou you think?

Otherwise maybe someone else around you has one laying around also check the vac lines and that little filter attached to the vac line. Make sure everything looks decent.
Definately if it threw a code you should check it out.
