I gave all the possible information i could give you.
Basically we are having problems at this map at the teleport part. We toggled every command on it, all the other servers run fine on it(tested it) and they have the same commands settings as us.
I set:
net_splitpacket_maxrate 50000
sv_parallel_sendsnapshot 1-0
.etc
Please tell me what you think.
I have to go quick i'll put more info when i get home.
Thanks,
Gamemann

6/17/12:
Okay i tested it with windows and it didn't lag(tested on another vps nfo gave us for a trial).
Testing it with centos soon.
Basically:
Low amt of players go in tunnel=No Lag

High amount of players in tunnel=LAG

High amount of bots go in tunnel-No Lag

High amount of bots + 1 player=LAG

Is there a command or something like that only for gentoo that could fix this?
I really want to try to get it to work with Gentoo.
I am on NFO's managed with Gentoo but i don't know if i can fix it somehow.

EDIT:
Yesterday i spent 6 hours straight trying to fix it.
Disabled all the plugins, updated sourcemod/metamod, turned logging on/off, tested other operating systems.etc
I am making a video of the lag now, it would be easier to see what's happening ingame with a video.

EDIT:

Some maps just lag servers (eg. map leaks, etc.). If its just that map that this is happening on, then its related to that specific map.
