Help! Drivetrain Malfunction

Today I installed a new VRSF FMIC, CP, and catless DP. I had JB4 pre-installed and the install went relatively well. After, I cold started the car and got a horrible idle and after driving the car for a bit, lacked any sort of power and soon received a drivetrain malfunction. I tried logging on my JB4 but it's being difficult. I did read the codes and they're attached. I also got two other codes regarding errors on the two oxygen sensors before and after the cat. I don't think that it is the charpepipe or FMIC because 1.) all of the gaskets and o-rings were installed correctly and 2.) a small boost leak shouldn't cause a drivetrain malfunction. Any ideas?

Diagnosed. The charge pipe rubber joint had popped off. Readjusted and tightened. All good now, can run 10+ psi of boost no problemo.
