Help! I bought used PFC. How to reset?

I just bought a used PFC.
It has some programming for a single turbo, and tons of other mods including bigger injectors.

My car has only k&n filter, downpipe, high flo cat, cat back.

How do I set PFC back to base map, and all factory settings. I don't want to start the car with the PFC tuned for single turbo.

Help!. I searched and found some reference to reset-ing the PFC with the manual. How to do this? Do I need to install PFC first?

Thanks,
Reza

Do you have the little book that came with it ? hook it up and turn on the key ,then go to ECT , screen then go to Initialize all data. That bring it back to the base program. The book is more than likely on this forum . if not call Garfinkle in Murfreesboro Tn . he may send you a copy.

that's not all you have to hit next, then turn off your ignition then turn it back on and you should be done.

I know on any stock ECU's they are reset when they sit for a few weeks without power to them, its like two weeks or so and it will sort of blanket itself and relearn everything it needs to...

Hmmm..
I got datalogit too. Is it possible to get base programming from other datalogit owner to download to my PFC.
I want to start base, then tune as needed.

I believe I don't need to tune until I got intake and intercooler and running higher than 10psi right?
