No wont brick anything.
When you get tuned with ecutek, the ecutek licience gets embedded in the ecu rom in an unused area.
Each time you flash with ecutek the ecutek software checks for the presence of this licience info.
If your ecutek tuner flashed back a "stock" ecutek rom with ecutek, then
The ecu is now unlocked and can be written to with other tune systems such as oft tectrix etc
The ecu will still contain your embedded ecutek licience.
When you marry oft to the car the oft will read out your current rom and store it in oft this rom will contain your ecutek licience.
If you ever unmarry the oft you will write back this rom and your ecutek licience will be restored.
Might be an idea to save a copy of that rom , by downloading of oft so you can restore it if something goes wrong with oft.
