Stock Tune?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the flashing game and was wondering if there was a way to make the ECU look identical to a stock ECU after its been flashed a few times? Is there a stock tune I could use (im using ECUFlash and/or EvoScan). I have some warranty work that I need to get done (clutch work) and need the ECU flashed entirely back to day1 so I don't get any BS @ the dealership.

Any ideas/suggestions?


thanks!

Hopefully you kept a copy of your stock ROM and that can be reflashed to the ECU. If not, who ever tuned your car should be able to do it too.

So if we put the stock ROM back on there's no way of knowing it was modded?
And is the ROM any different than the stock configurations on the ECU?

even if you flash it back they will prob look at the turned bolts and nuts on your exhaust and say you had an aftermarket exhaust installed that caused the problem...they are relentless.. good luck

As far as I know they will only know when the last time it was flashed.

A stock ROM is a stock ROM.
