overboosting

I had the same problem bro. The downpipe is causing the turbo to spool faster. Try adjusting the boost contoller again. But keep your boost at stock levels (19-21psi)until you get a tune. It could mess **** up big time!! Hope it helps.

if you aren't tuned turn your boost down..it's not helping you if you aren't tuned for it

adding a 3" exhaust improves flow which allows your boost to creep which is the cause of your issue

Your DV spring might not be able to handle a spike longer than a couple of seconds causing it to open up and dump all the air thus causing the "buck" in addition to having opening up the exhaust. Doing a pull in 4th at lower rpms and getting "hard on the gas" as you said makes this even easier to happen.

Turn down the boost if you have messed with it at all as said before, and go get a tune. Once this is done and it happens again then you need to upgrade your DV to one with a stronger spring in it.
