$11version 3 matches its a 1bar tune that has been set/tuned to run on a 2bar sensor ide say its a copy of the capa $11 supercharged tune
If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem

it will work doesnt look very safe has lots of timing on boost and fuel could be lean or rich hard to tell when looking at the fudged 2bar tunes because so many settings are fudged to fool the ecu to make it work as a 2bar tune.just about guarentee this is why your head gaskets went pop so easy.if you only need to drive it too get tuned yeah drive it just dont boost it hard or i could take some timing out and you could burn it on a memcal would be safer then you can work on monitoring fuel ratio with a wideband and tweak fuel tables to get it right .vl400's $11 stock realtime bin on a nvram board with all these settings copied over would probably work and allow you to tweak it

What boost are you running . If it were me id take 5 deg timing out from 50 kpa to 100kpa from 800 rpm up ,then very carefully ease boost on while data logging and check knock counts and o2 volts ,then adjust as necessary.
