Checking for tune

mazza89 · September 13th, 2010, 10:47 PM

Hey guys, I am in the process of looking for a tuner. I have been considering getting the SCT sf3/x3 from AM. The only problem I am having is I was told when I bought the car that it was tuned. I wasn't given a tuner, I pulled the computer and there is no chip plugged in either. So either it was tuned with a handheld or it wasn't at all. Is there anyway I can check to see if the computer was tuned?

I can get access to a friends tuner but they are locked to the vehicle. Also if it has been tuned and I buy a tuner will it be able to overwrite the tune? And then will I be able to back up the stock tune or will it be gone?

Thanks
