I think you still have a boost leak.
When I did the ATS housing, I remembered the big o-ring as I spotted it easily. However, the o-ring that goes between the compressor outlet and the y-pipe that splits between the intercooler pipes, I forgot. It was stuck in the old stock housing, and as I was stashing that away after finishing up, I saw the o-ring staring me in the face.
Maybe you left that one like I did.
Hope you find the problem...

Did you pull the turbo to install the housing, or do it on the truck? If you pulled it, there could be a few things causing it.
