Car drives fine but I get the drivetrain malfunction message keeps popping up, but no effect on how it drives.

Yep, the wastegate code should affect the engine power but it looks like it is not working. I would check the vacuum lines to the valve and if okay, replace the wastegate. Here are the instructions in the images below. Also check the actuator control solenoid. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

All good after replacing the valve cover, but all these codes went away and a p1290 popped up, it never ends. Replaced the sensor even though there shouldn't be an issue with it all of a sudden. Engine coolant reads fine on scanner. Connector looks good. Same thing and it's always accompanied by a drive malfunction message, but no limp mode. Read few people changed sensor and all was good, of course that cannot happen to me lol. I replaced the coolant temperature sensor even though it called for cylinder head temperature sensor cause that's what I found in stores and it matches 100%.

Yes, that is the coolant temperature sensor. Did you change out the turbo? They go bad all the time in these cars.
