Lost ROM/MAP. NEED HELP.

So basically I just picked up a 2006 Evo IX MR recently from a dealership and without even thinking about started to unplug the ECU fuse in the engine fuse compartment. I realized what I was doing, and tried to quickly put it back in as I barely undid the clips. Anyways, I went to start the car to see if I reset the ECU, and sure enough I did.

My problem is that the car was tuned by a shop in Maryland (I am from Ohio) the summer of 2011, and I don't have the ROM/MAP that was on it. I'm working on contacting the previous owner/performance shop to see if by any chances they still have it, but I doubt it.

So I was hoping one of you guys on here could give me a rough ROM/MAP until I can take it to get retuned by Buschur Racing. I am new to Evo's and tuning in general, but I was just starting to learn the basics of EcuFlash from reading Merlin's guide, and watching a series on YouTube when I did the Evo VIII swap in my 2G GSX.

My signature has all the current mods listed but here it follows as well;

ACT HD Street Clutch, ACT Streetlite Flywheel, Deatschwerks 750cc Fuel Injectors, Walbro 255LPH, CBRD BBK Version 2 turbo, Injen Upper & Lower Intercooler Piping, Turbo Smart Dual Port BOV/BPV, Injen Hard Intake Pipe w/ K&N filter, 3" Invidia Exhaust w/out cat, AEM Oil Pressure, Boost/Vacuum, and AFR gauges, Hallman Manual Boost Controller, AMS Front Motor Mount, 272/272 Cams

How did you come to the conclusion that your rom was erased?!
You could remove the entire ECU out of the car & the rom would stay there.

resetting the ECU by disconnecting the battery or removing the fuse does not erase the ecu
to erase you have to destroy it in one way or another or reflash above it
