Haven't had those issues with the stock turbo, so far.
Yeah, it was due to defective Delphi coilpacks. There are a couple of threads on here were people running into a similar issue, all running Delphi coilpacks. Someone figured out that a voltage spike was coming from the coil packs which was causing the weird issues I ran into. I got lucky someone else figured that out.

A lot of people run Delphi’s with great results. I think we just got defective units.

I put my stock coils back in with 35k on them and not one issue.
