Default TB Tune question.

I’ve been having nothing but problems after installing an aftermarket throttle body, (yes it’s tuned). Long story short I’m done dealing with it and I’m going back to stock. My dumb question is can I re install my stock throttle body and drive car without getting re-tuned?

I swapped TBs and never had any issues going back and forth. I am sure others might have some input but I wouldn't see why you would need to get it retuned. What TB's did you go with? Just slap on your old TB and see how the car reacts, Was it tuned with the old TB?

it was tuned with the old TB. The throttle body that’s giving me trouble is a “GIGS PERFORMANCE” ported model that I got off eBay. It had nothing but good reviews but I should’ve done some more research because I didn’t realize how sensitive these cars can be with aftermarket TBs. Nevertheless the TB was around $350 and can’t return it so that’s frustrating but live and you learn I guess
