Update
I have been working on the car here and there, I waited for the cylinder head back for awhile and I got it back last week. It is back on the block and I went to torque down my head stud nuts but I didnt have a socket skinny enough to fit down in between the follower bucket holes. Once I...
If the turbo is rebuilt it could be the valve stem seals but it from what you describe it is a tune issue with those injectors. They might be staying open while the throttle is closed.
