How can you tell if your car has been chipped or remapped?
 
Is there a way you can tell if a car has been chipped or remapped?

I'm thinking about a bluefin but don't want to waste the money if it's already been done?

The car picks up quickly and feels fast but it's new and i haven't driven another ST170 to compare.

When you install the bluefin can it tell before you upload the new map?

Thanks

have it dyno'd first if unsure as average output on a st170 is high 150s no where near 170 without mods

What he ^^ said, in addition there isn't alot you can do to 170's as they are already in a high state of tune.

ST170s are a quick car as standard mine was running 185 with a full st/st cat back system
67mm throttle body and a k&n typhoon kit a blue fin wont really give you much and you cant remap the ST170s so just stick with basic mods
