Default Help PLEASE

I have had terrible experience thus far with a 170 Gas, installed in a Skymaster MB339, history as ffollows
after 21 flights and 5 flameouts, REPLACED 2 ECU and 2 FUEL PUMP, on last flight, Fuel PUmp, PW reading went through the roof, injected plenty fuel, FIRE and luckily we put it out.
1st ECU, smelt burnt , 2nd one after Fire
1st pump, was seized, 2nd just ran ON! Even with RX off
So , I packed it all up. Sent back to Thailand via our Dealer here in South Africa, who has been great.
after, 6 weeks, get it back, NEW ECU and PUMP, and they say they REPAIRED VALVES, just one sentence in the email,no other explanation.
so, I have 6 flawless flights.
on 7th start up, SAME DAMN THING AGAIN_____ Pump PW reading he's through the roof, again FIRE, agin we put it off in time.
Pump, runs, even with rX turned off
i am running a 2c, 4400, 7.4 V LIPO for ECU,charged off line
fuel tanks,lines all clear

we are all dumbstruck here in SA,and a mate, who's an expert on Turbines is equally dumbstruck
PLEASE anyone with any IDEAS! SUGGESTIONS
