It's obvious his trying to play it safe, as he mentioned turbo fins are bent. You should perhaps fix that problem and take it back for a touch up tune.

Did he put it to you while he was tuning that he noticed the fins are bent?

Did he put it forward to you a quote to fix it so that he could push more out of it?

You see the reason that got me thinking was, he rang me and said "your fins r bent, I have this awesome turbo here to throw on and blah blah" just tried to make a sale straight away, then when I went in to pick up the car he tried selling me a comp wheel and I didn't like that.

I've never really heard of a turbo not being able to boost any more because of bent fins.

At a closer look now I'm

Barely pushing 8psi....

Turbo issues, exhaust leak - sounds like you have a few problems.

It is possible you actually have a "good tuner", as he played it safe with what he had to work with.

Modifying these cars can be a never ending money pit......

As mentioned have a look at the turbo yourself, take a pic even and post up and the guys on here will tell you straight away if they're bent and how badly.

On a side note, does that afr graph look right? Jet, Mick etc? Seems just a bit all over the place
