Default reflash to utec turbonetics question.

Done some searching and not getting the simple answer im looking for so...........If i get the reflash first and later want to install the utec and get a tune, do i have to get the reflash taken out and put the ecu back to stock?

The UTEC set on 0 is the ECU, so it will run off of the TN maps. Although Ive heard and seen cars not run 100% like just the ECU after the UTEC even set on "stock" mode.

I've heard of issues with it too. I'm not sure if I entirely understand why it would not work...

As other have said you can run like that just fine. Several people have already. The ECU will run off the Turbonetics flash when the UTEC is not controlling the system and the UTEC will 100% take over when its active.
