Have to admit, im surprised it was cnv. They did my ba a few years back and it was awesome. I hadnt heard anything bad about them before (I have been away for 4 years though so anything is possible) hope its all good now mate.

CMS supplied me with plazmaman

Apparently original retainers are fine

How much did they charge you?

I had my ba ute tuned at cv around 2yrs ago. first time it came out running 308kw @ 19psi and had a bad idle. took the car back and they lowered the boost to 15psi which raised the power to 325kw and said there's a problem with plugs or coils. Had a look myself turned out to be a huge air leak on the intake manifold. Got a new tuner now

Have to check the invoice, but from memory they were $800-850 fitted

Tuner should start with the tune and go over it to make sure anything is okay, then they should be able to diagnose the issue, whether it be plugs, coils, valve springs etc.

Also I'm no expert but if valve springs are starting to hurt, im under the impression you could actually just put a decent exhaust on instead and free up exhaust flow and that will take some pressure off the valve springs and they might be okay. Plus you will make more power with it
