First, realize that there is a technical forum for a reason.
This *is* a technical question. (NOT General)Second, seriously?:
"I did notice I have a very small boost leak coming from one of my bovs but highly doubt thats the cause of my problem" A boost leak is *always* a problem.
Search provides an overwhelming consensus:
If you aren't leaking coolant/are smelling fuel in white smoke you are running rich but the fuel is unburnt.
(Most common during injector replacement when someone flubs an O-Ring and fuel is constantly dripping into the chamber) Knowing that,if your MAF tells your ECU the engine using using "x" air, but only getting "y" air in the cylinders, it will improperly compensate. So, the question is, why not fix the boost leaks/BoVs and see where you're at? Is it running on less cylinders? (Maybe you didn't plug in a coil) Do a powerbalance test and see how it acts.
