I'm surprised it hasn't been told yet, but what turbo are you running. This is vital info when it seems everything else is good to go.... Also, I doubt just switching to the ofi hot parts is going to really net you anything more...

What were your intake air temps? Did they have a strong fan blowing on the IC the whole time? There are so many possible variables involved in disecting your power problem. I guess your wastegate is set to 8 psi correct? What a/r is on the exhaust side of the turbo? I would jump to intake air temps first thing before calling jegs LOL! If they tuned it they more than likely tuned it really conservative and on pretty low timing, careful with timing though.
