Update:
So after COUNTLESS hours of trying to diagnose what's going on with the car, I finally got it towed to VMP which is luckily 30 minutes away from me. I threw them off, everything appeared to be installed correctly to them as well. Nothing was making sense to them either, spent a full day with them and they came to a skeptical conclusion of the tune possibly being effed up. Left the car there overnight and spent another day with them today when someone randomly suggests swapping a maf from one of their cars over to mine just to see what would happen.
Now before I go any further, let me remind you. VMP and I had looked at this MAF quite a few times, we even pulled it out to look at directly. The plastic housing of the MAF literally says "fomoco" on it. After one of the tuners pulled the MAF out of my car they noticed that in small lettering it said PMAS on the bottom of the sensor itself. There it was, my problem for the past month. What threw us all off is that it resembles the stock MAF, the only difference is it just says pmas in tiny little lettering on the bottom of the sensor it self.
I installed my PMAS no tune required cai almost two years ago, I completely forgot that it came with its own MAF. When removing the PMAS and getting ready for my procharger install, I glanced at the MAF and saw 'fomoco" and thought "cool, let me swap over my stock MAF airflow into the procharger charge pipe now." Not realizing that i was installing a PMAS specific MAF into my procharger set up.
I swapped over the stock MAF and loaded up one of the base tunes VMP sent me and she fired right up w/o hesitation and was now fully drivable with no issues. Now if you will excuse me, im going to sleep like a baby tonight knowing that my car is back in its garage home with me.
Thank you to everyone who shared their thought on what the problem could be, turns out I'm just an idiot
