Is this power output low?

Hey guys i finally got my car retuned but i think the power seems a little low its running 141 rwkw and 406nm, i was expecting more out of it. The car has a microtech ecu, front mount is running 14psi of boost, runs on 98 octane fuel runs a 3 inch exhaust and a k&n filter. I did however get alot more midrange power out of the tune, do u guys think i should be getting more? (i was going to scan the dyno sheet but cant work the scanner ill post it later when the old man shows me how to work it)

So by my calculations, that is about 190 HP and 300 lb-ft, right? That just doesn't seem right to me.

Yeah i know i was really expecting somewhere up around the 200kw, 600nm mark, doubling the boost from stock did bugger all

Well, I just thought it was weird that it had that much more torque than HP. I thought they were closer, or with higher hp than torque. The torque number seems reasonable to me, but the hp is pretty low for what you have done. 14 PSI is pushing it for the stock turbo, though.

Yeah i know i was didnt think the mechanic was that silly, i only wanted about 12psi out of it. How long do u think it will last at that level? And with the torque i think it might have something to do with how the guy tunes em he told me he had a series 2 pulling over 1000nm
