Default Steering binding after turbo install

I'm posting this here do to the nature of modification to my car. So I've had a weird steering issue for going on almost a year now that I have been unable to solve. My car has the AAM turbo kit installed on it, so everything that is involved with removing the engine and subframe, disconnecting steering, ect has been done to it.

Anytime I make an abrupt right turn (usually 90 degrees) I encounter a point of resistance. The steering wheel "hangs up" but I can power through it. Once through this point, the resistance is gone. I can briefly feel it at the same point when the steering wheel is returning back to its neutral position. It only occurs when making right turns and the steering wheel encounters this resistance always in the same exact position. I've noticed that I can lessen the resistance if I adjust the steering wheel down, but it still remains.

I initially thought that the steering shaft U-joint was hitting the turbo. I didn't notice any marks on the turbo.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could have been done wrong when reconnecting the subframe/steering that could be causing this? I'm out of ideas.
