What would be my best bet at getting the car tuned at this point?
The current dilemma is that the car will start, but dies out in seconds. It wont run long enough to log data. That being said, i believe this is at the fault of the tune, or lack-thereof. I've installed a 4-bar map sensor and tuned the MAP scaling accordingly, but without further tweaking to the system the car is currently operating on, i.e. a tune that isn't mapped for forced induction, my ability to log data and adjust, or even e tune is at a stand still.

It wont start with a 4 bar MAP on a stock tune or any tune that does not have settings for a 4 bar map sensor.
So ... if I have this correct you mate gave yo the actual ECU with vorteck tune on that he was running in his car and the ECU has been flashed with ecutek. But you don't have ecutek cable kit.
So your calibration ID in your current ECU is B01C, do you know your mates calibration ID or the year of car. If his car was same year or older than yours and both manual you should be fine to just swap in the alternate ECU using procedure here assuming the tune in ECU is vortech with 4 bar map and other mods same.
If you mate car was newer than your ie like D00G F00C F40C calibration the engine will run but it may throw some cel codes for dash communication and maybe alternator control.

you don't need to change the VIN, and you wont be able to as im pretty sure if you do it will foul up the ecutek licience in ecu.
