Planes at sea level still turn as physics determine, not "of course too fast". If you posted your input data as requested, I could easily check if there's anything I'd disagree with.

As for the high speed relation, anytime the aircraft has more excess thrust it will have a better turn rate as it can sustain more angle of bank at velocity.

The relationship is correct.
I could easily see that if you posted requested input data. The way it looks from here, you chose 285 mph for the Spitfire and 500 km/h for the 109 - which leaves me to wonder: Do you know of a lower sea level top speed for the Spitfire and do you know of a higher sea level top speed for the 109? Just asking, because I don't.
