10bs seems low with a 2.5 and a lower. I think I was at 14 with a 2.4 upper. He should be around the same I would think.
He mentions he was seeing 11lbs and also has headers and free flowing exhaust, this can bleed off a couple lbs of boost.

I worked on the car myself… and the tuner isn’t a bad tuner just because he doesn’t work at a big name shop…

I would tend to agree with him, if you can get it in with a reputable Ford shop/tuner they can likely sort it out in short order. We're not saying your guy can't get it there eventually but it would probably skip a lot of headaches
