Default Problems after turbo install

I'm not sure this is the correct place to post this sorry in advance if wrong. I've installed the Huron Single kit on my 14SS and the squash dual pump kit with 1300cc FIC injectors. and I cannot figure out for the life of me what the problem is. originally there was a exhaust leak Pre O2 which I have since fixed but now it is pulling lean codes for both banks. My gauge is telling me I'm pulling 18"hg which leads me to think its not a vacuum leak. It still has the stock cam. Another thing I have going on is the car will idle after going into closed loop but, when I give it any throttle and let off it dies. I think it would be tune related but I am not sure. Any advice is appreciated thank you!

Did you happen to update the tune for the bigger injectors?

still using the maf sensor? If so any kind of leak after the maf will cause lean codes. Also don't forget the pcv system, it is often overlooked.

take some brake or carb cleaner and spray around the intake, if the engine starts running different theres a leak. It doesnt take a very big leak to cause issues

Yes it has a bench tune on it from a pretty reputable shop here in town. I do have HP Tuners, but I am still new to it. I've used some starting fluid sprayed everywhere I could think it would have a leak and come up with nothing. I have also put clamps on all of my vacuum lines.
