So 165 kpa = 23.9 psi. If you take away normal atmospheric pressure (1 kpa or 14.5 psi) then you're looking at around 9.5 psi of boost. 11.5:1 is a reasonable and safe (although not optimal) AFR. I prefer around 12.5:1 once everything else is stable. It is possible that the low ignition advance would cause a very hot O2 sensor at that AFR.

For some reason I'm still worried that you've either got a slipping blower belt or you need a smaller pulley. I think you're on the right track about the spark advance.

Most interesting is that the Dyno was measuring a max of 11 psi boost. However loking back at the logs I was getting a heck of a lot more than that...up to 23psi!?

Looking at the logs I see boost ramping up rapidly, up to 165 kps (23 psi, 1.62 BAR) at 4200 rpm! AFRs are 11.5:1 and ignition was massively retarded at 4-8 degrees btdc. That would explain the dead Innovate 02 sensor...must have burned it up!

That looks like a "smoking gun" to me. The dyno's MAP was way off (Maybe it was calibrated for 1 bar, not 3 bar?) and ignition was also off.
