HP tuners, flashing ECU back to stock question
i have heard mixed stories on this. One person said you literally just get the stock file and flash it back instantly to stock via HP tuners. The other person said it takes an hour or two and that you have to pull up two charts and adjust lots of different perimeters manually one at a time. What is the correct way and easiest way to do this?
How long should it take for a shop to do? How much should one pay for this service? Thanks. 👍

If you have the stock tune on HPTuners it only takes a few minutes. If we tuned the car then we dont charge if you just wanted your stock tune back in.
If you dont have the stock tune and we have to flash to oem off the vin number we charge $250.

I guess the first question is why are you flashing it back to stock?
Your tuner should always save a copy of your stock ECM file. (to flash back to stock someday)
Otherwise if you want to skip taking it to a tuner, or using HPTuners... any dealership can flash it back to stock. Most charge 1hr.
NOTE: My local dealership charges me $100 anytime I want one of mine flashed back to stock before resale.
