Yes, you should be able to re-tune it fine. I used to have s200 and a p28 in my last turbo car. It should have a rom chip that plugs into a socket in the ecu...you burn the tune onto the rom chip using a pocket programmer or whatever and just plug the chip into the ecu...

thanks bro know you made me feel better because i bought it yesterday and the check engine light flashes very fast and when i turned the car on it shut of after 10 seconds. The guy i bought it from told me straight up it was fine and if there were a problem to call him back. Anyways since the ecu is tuned already it cant just work on another car just like that right.
