I think I might have found the issue. Right after I posted my previous post I thought I would check which fans I'm running. I checked the invoice from when I ordered them from JDL and it clearly says 1328 CFM fans which are the high performance ones.

I checked the actual fans on my car and they're the low profile 900 CFM fans. So JDL might have costed me my previous engine which was over heating constantly and eventually dropped a valve.

It's safe to say there wasn't sufficient airflow to cool a turbo FA20 let alone a V8. I'm going to upgrade to 1800 CFM fans next just to be safe.
