The starter shouldn't be the problem. Alternator - maybe; but it sounds like it's charging the battery, so it's low on my list at this point. Since the battery is discharging, I suspect an intermittent short; possibly related to the turbo install. Check system voltage with a meter. A recording meter will help spot intermittent problems.

Edit: Didn't fully read previous post. You have low voltage, so the alternator jumps to the top of my list.

Yea the alternator is barely charging the battery. It’s really only charging enough to keep the thing alive. Along with a new starter I’m replacing the alternator. If those solve my issues I’ll be super excited lol. If not, I’m just gonna have to do some more digging.
