I have a PTuning FF Kit I'm about to install, and as such switching my tune to a FF Tune from Zach @ CSG.

Question is: When it comes time to send my file to Zach, my current tune is obviously locked to "X Company" and cannot be edited from someone else, correct? Would I have to re-flash my ECU to a stock config file?

Reasons why I'm asking. I have multiple revisions of my current tune, however I don't have any stock file within those revisions. My car was initially tuned on a Dyno and further revisions done via email. It looks like my file is ZA1JF40C. Would this be the correct stock file to flash and then send off the CSG? Or could I just send my current config file and have Zach go from there?

Thanks for the rather dumb question.
Zach would be working off of CSG base maps; you don't need to send him anything.

You'd effectively be tuning from scratch, but you'd also be gaining everything that has been integrated into the CSG base maps, and effectively getting the best possible tune that is available at the time of your tune.

Just make sure he has a complete list of modifications on your car, as well as your model year, transmission type, and region (e.g. USA).
