Fg Tune Back To Standard

[Yortt]

Ok just bought an FG XR6 Turbo previous owner said he does not know who tuned it. I have VCM Suite (from tuning Holdens) I can read the modified tune in it but I dont have a standard tune to put back into it.

My thoughts were get a ford dealer to flash a standard tune back into it I can then read that then I have the alternative of loading either tune whenever I want. However the ford dealer tells me if the write over the existing tune with the relevant standard tune it will run like "sh*t" his words! He indicated he has done several all with the same result the vehicle runs poorly.he did not elaborate, has any body had any experience with this situation?

The calibration /operating system in my vehicle is HAEDAR8 it is a 2008 FG is there any othe way I can get a copy of a standard tune?

Thanks, in advance for any help.

What other mods does the car have? If there are no other additional mods with the tune then I believe it will run fine.

^^^ this ^^^ if it has larger injectors it will run like crap if it has high flow cat/big dump engine light will come on and it will overboost

It appears to be standard including injectors other than for the upgraded tune, That sounds logical to me, however I had another two ford dealers tell me the same thing today.

Given bionicxr6t05 comments that sounds logical also, maybe this is why the dealers are having so many problems

Thanks for the feedback.

If its stock you won't have a problem, there may be a Fg file on the hptuners website? Last time I looked there was ba bf and Fg f6 tunes on there

Yes I have downloaded those files they are all different operating system, HP tuners has downloaded the tune file in the car but currently can not look at the operating system the tune in the car has they are currently working on this operating system hopefiully available in a couple of weeks.

What I don't know is if I can program a different operating system into my Ford PCM (maybe some one out there can answer the question) for example you can use any of the operating systems in an LS1 Expensive Daewoo they are interchangable. However on an LS2 only some of the operating systems are interchangable and if you try to load the incorrect one it permanently corrupts the PCM.
