Update

So I got frustrated and didn't have time to work on it myself so I took it to a local shop in Sterling, VA. They did a great job diagnosing and replaced the "turbocharger boost control valves". They also adjusted the rear turbo waste gate arm. They first only replaced one valve but then I brought it back a week later because I was still having some issues and they replaced the other one then. The car is running much much much better now. I am assuming these are the same thing as the solenoids?
He told me that the Engine Malfunction light might still reappear at some point and in order for them to fully take care of the problem they need to take out the turbos so they can adjust the actuator arm for the front turbo. And then upon inspection maybe the front turbo doesn't seal properly and it would need to be replaced. However he said in order just to check that it involves a bunch of labor.

I was thinking that instead of spending all that money for them to take out the turbos and adjust the actuator I should keep driving until I do have to replace the turbos (and I'll buy new ones from Rob Beck at that point).
Car has 122k on it right now but I'm hoping the turbos will last me a while. Don't feel like replacing turbos for preventative maintenance.

Suggestions?
So far Ive had the car for 3 days and I've been pushing it just to see if the light comes back on. So far nothing, and its running really smooth.

Lastly, do you guys think its safe for me to reinstall JB4 and check it out?
