Default Is this ecu chipped?

I bought a ecu and fuel ecu from ebay.It was advertised as beeing chipped by superchip wand was told he had it on his car running 18psi.

Ive had it apart as it had no stickers on the casing saying superchip and everything inside looks standard with no superchip stickers. Here is some pics:

Is it possible that this is chipped even though it has no stickers on it?

Is it possible to run 18psi without it being chipped? (ie, bleed valve or something)

Shall i get my money back?

that looks boggo to me mate.

the chip goes under the long metal "V" shaped piece in the middle, that looks like it hasn't been touched. you can run 18psi on a bleed valve i'd imagine, as they're literally unlimited due to them just being a primitave screw.

i have a turbosystems "piggyback" chip on mine and its deffo very different looking.

If there is a chip with a sticker on plugged into a socket under that bent metal piece then you are probably ok, if it's just a chip soldered to the board with no sticker on then its probably untouched!
