I have a basic tune in my car with colder plugs and 3 bar. If I return the car to stock factory tune will it run goofy?
If I return my tune to stock will the car run correctly?

It depends on your mods. Do you have a CAI, exhaust, 3 bar MAP, upgraded turbos, intercooler, hot pipes, etc?
Some mods require the tune to run properly. If your car is stock aside from the tune, then yes, you can flash the factory tune and it'll be fine.

The rules of thumb, would be 3bar back to OEM, turbos, high pressure FP, injectors, meth, catlless exhaust, any mod that would change the performance of the OE tune.
Plugs, coil packs, thermostat, cold air, seriously not an issue.

I do have hot pipes, drop in K&N, 3 bar and colder plugs but that is it. So based on what you described it should be fine, but would swap the plugs and put the stock unit back on in place of the 3 bar if needed. *Might* have to sell my car but I sure hope not!
catless, or just newer but working O2 rear? you didnt have to do an "offroad" tune, you are good. plugs the computer will adjust for.

Everything is stock other than thermostat, 3 bar, hot pipes and tune
2 bar back in and back to stock.

100% need the stock MAP sensor for stock tune. I have forgotten before and the car goes into limp mode and you can't go anywhere.
Mine would super rough idle in the early mod days. I wouldn't even attempt to put her in drive.
