ECU Reset on flashed car

I got flashed a couple months ago and when we did it my BOV was actin very funny (turbosmart bov) it was venting back a lot and was making my graph on the dyno sheet act up which AL Pointed out to me. So i swapped it to a Forge fully recirculate one now. Should i do the reset on the ECU since i changed that now. Or does our ECUs relearn itself? I did some searches on this but nothing about being flashed already with changing a part from when it got tuned. Any suggestions?

There is nothing for the ECU to learn with the new BOV. You don't need to do anything.

Would he lose the flash if he reset the ecu?

Haha, no. The ECU doesn't lose its stock programming when you reset it, and a flash is nothing but a reprogramming. It doesn't disappear unless reflashed.
