It almost sounded like it was some sort of oil issue (oil pressure warning right before it melted down). Not sure how a tune would affect that? Maybe an oil pump failure?Aside from anecdotal feelings: I am curious how it is you determined that it is not the aftermarket tuning which had a detrimental effect on the motor?
The parameters modified by modern engine tuning have as dramatic of an impact on the operation of the engine as it's factory tune can have.
As any auditor worth their salt will say "Trust is not an internal control".
Full disclosure: I had a Mitsubishi Evolution track car which was heavily modified and played with the tune constantly based on track layout, so i'm not one of those "keep all vehicles stock, the manufacturer knows best in all things" people. But I really haven't seen anything you've posted which would remove the aftermarket tune as a likely culprit at this stage of the process and based on the facts currently known.
It will be interesting to hear what the eventual cause was.
