Question. A local tuner is questioning the boost controller and pcv for making good reliable power. Any ideas would be awesome so I can get this thing finished up.

Unless you have a custom tune and flash, your only option is a PC5 or similar fuel module. DJ's as reputable as it gets. What is your tuner suggesting you use instead of the PC5?

He was more concerned about the boost controller and pcv working together. He pretty much called the aem gauge/controller junk and said i should have gone with ams. If i had the funds I would. I think i'm going to swap out my afr gauge for a failsafe gauge and say screw it.

The PC5 can be configured to respond to boost pressure. Maybe your tuner feels the sensor you have is not reliable.
