Dont look like it mate usually when they've been chipped the silver cover is missing off the large chip.

As above, although that isn't always the case. Best look on the chip thats under that metal strip with the number 2 on it. See if the chip has any stickers or markings that suggest its not original.

Look at the back of it and check the solder joints. If they look like all the other ones, it's most likely stock. If they look more "handmade" and not as tidy as the other ones it has probably been chipped.

some places reprog'd the original chip so it may be chipped but look the same, ive got a few ecu's that appear totally std but will run 15psi +

think turbosystems use the original chip?



gonna want to run it up the rd to test it really but sometimes they dont cut til its been over 10 for a couple of seconds so you wanna hold boost for a bit when testing
