Re: zif socket?

you have to cut 'j1' that's located by the zif socket in order for the ecu to return to stock.

Without going through all that trouble and cutting the j1 say if we wanted to return the car back to stock. Could we just burn a stock map on a chip put it in the zif socket, and it will be good?
