You cannot undo the damage that has resulted from that tune, and you will have other issues, including those you've mentioned above (although most are not pertinent to tracking).

My recommendation remains that you avoid a first year car completely.
So if tracking a first year car would changing the DI seals help any? Is there more risk if they are damaged or is it just the damage to the engine from their issues that a problem? I have been running a new tune for most of the cars life (even got an updated ECU but still right before the good tunes I think (3/13 date on the new ECU iirc).

I don't plan to sell my car to update and will just get a newer powertrain when this one fails. But wondering if any steps might help prolong that lol
