ud have to open it mate, and have a look. If it can hold over say 12psi of boost then it will be chipped.

the main chip will have been disturbed - sometimes re soldered, sometimes a socket is soldered in, sometimes a little baby board is tapped on. Dont bother though - if its 17psi - its defo been chipped.
