My head gasket went because of my tune. It's running to lean at 13:1 and it overheated.

Off topic - but good luck with that

Ecutek licence, just like AIDS, applies for the life of the ecu - that is, once its on there it's not coming off

Solution = brick your ecu then send it to chiptorque in QLD to be unbricked for $250
