Default JetCat P-70 Overheating

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a demo, low time, propane-start JetCat P-70 turbine to put in an extra Boomerang jet. I installed the turbine, re-calibrated the temperature prob, and re-learned the ECU. On my first run, the engine started perfect, although running temperatures were from 780 - 850 degrees. I shutdown the turbine, let it cool, and re-calibrated the temperature prob. I attempted to start the turbine again. About 1 minute after the start sequence was complete, the running temperature exceeded 860 degrees and the engine shutdown. All subsequent start-up attempts have resulted in a shutdown due to overheating. I am not convinced that it is truly overheating, but that is what is being reported. Any ideas?
