EDIT: I tried one last thing and ultimately it worked itself out all on it's own. I replaced the sensor and it still read wrong for around 3 days and then just randomly began reading correctly. Believe this or not, I recalibrated the sensor several times and then just assumed to replace the system, until I saw the readings days later.

It may be time to replace the sensor again. Is the wideband o2 sensor atleast 32 inches away from the turbo? If its to close to the turbo, you will go through wideband o2 sensors faster than usual.
 
what position is the sensor in also. if you didnt place it in the correct position / distance it says right in the instructions it can condense water out of the exhaust and cause issues with readings
 
Test it by putting the sensor in a rag of gasoline with the controller turn on and check the reading, should go full rich. Take it out of the rag as well to see if it goes full lean.

As 3kgt asked, what is the position of the sensor installed? If it's not facing a downward angle moisture can get in the sensor. As far as distance, I've been running in the front o2 location without issue for over a year.

However I have been wanting to switch it further back so I can use the stock sensor again (I didn't have problems LOL
