Personally, if you change something and you find a issue after the change, it's the thing you changed causing the issue.

Not everyone who says they can tune a twin, can actually tune a twin.

My money is on the tune being rubbish.

I would start by getting some other tuner/shop to have a look.

7 months of issue, your either very busy or extremely patient.
That's what I was thinking as well. I wanted to ask for opinions cause my tuners is telling me it's something that's out of his control and is gonna cost me 1,500-2,000$. I'd rather start with some opinions from people who are way more knowledgable then me at this. Although I am not rolling out the probability of my cam gears gone bad, I'm also still skeptical on the tune being faulty. But yet again he has tuned so many of these cars before and is known for tuning this platform. I think switching back to OFT with the same tune and software would be a good start. If it doesnt fix the issue, then I know for sure its a mechanical issue. I was very patient as he told me to run seafoam before the oil changes to see if the actuators can unclog. I did 3 oil changes with 2.5k mile intervals so that's a long time right there.
