Any chance you could post the tune file for members on here to look at? Or at least a log of the last good run before something went wrong?

I will ask the tuner. Do they normally give that information?

A datalog is something he definitely should have, and will give a lot of insight into what happened. Nothing top secret there. He should give it out.

Exactly what I was thinking!..... And then he Blames it on the injectors... I'd be having a serious conversation with that tuner!

Here are a few things I would ask if I were in your shoes: (post up if your tuner answers)

1) what tuning strategy is he using? MAF or Speed density
2) how much timing when under boost?
3) how did he identify particular cylinders as lean and some as rich (other than "well this one has a hole and must've been lean)
4) what a/f ratio was commanded in PE?
5) what a/f ratio actually way
6) any knock retard?

Most of these would be answered by looking at a properly configured data lg.

I will ask him
I know he is doing MAF tune and timing was set to 15*. He called trick performance to talk about the kit and if they had any problems like this before.

Is he (tuner) suggesting the turbo caused the problem?

No. He thinks it could be the injectors. The ring gap may have been to close. He said there are many things that could have caused it. Obviously this happened after installing the kit and while he was tuning. He did mention that the oil pressure was at 40 he thinks thats to low for a truck and maybe thats an issue.

Man I am so sorry to hear this crap. Reminds me of a few years ago when an idiot tuner ruined my new HKE 365. I was into 20k worth of mods by that 2nd go around...back when I had money lol but I gave up at that point. I would put a junk yard motor in it and get a mail order tune for a baseline and go from there. You can build one of your choice later on. Just take a deep breathe and keep at it and you will get there. It will be worth it.
