Any way to tell if I have a "chip"?

[mankypro]

I have an 01' PSD X. The boost numbers I'm seeing reported on stock systems seem low to me. As far as I know my truck is not chipped - although it could be - I'm the 3rd owner. Is there a way to tell? Do I need to pull the ECU and look at the board? Is there an easier way to check?

I know that in 01' some custom chips were soldered directly into place on Audi's - I know I had one - could this be the case with my PSD? I've seen 28psi when pushing it hard. Not often, just a few times.

Any black smoke? I'd pull the PCM and take a look(if it is a chip and not a programmer)

I run on veg - but even on diesel I've never seen coal out of this baby no matter how hard I ride it.

Its got somthing.... 28 psi is not stock. My truck ran 15-17 stock. With my edge i have seen 30 on a cold night on the highway while romping it hard.

I'm going to need to watch the gauges a little better. I really would rather not have to pull the PCB to look - I hate working up behind the fuse box - there is no worse place to wedge yourself into in those trucks and I'm not a big guy - I can only imagine the 6'4" 250lb guy trying to get in there...

definitly has something in there , 15-17 is generally factory specs, at 28 lbs , thats gotta be at least an 80 or 100 horse setting, probably has a programmer in it

I drive like a snowbird most times as I have precious cargo aboard. Again I've only seen it once or twice and it was flooring it. Again I'll need to watch the gauges. If I had a programmer where would it be? Under the steering column?

Isnt there the possibility that the PCM itself has been flashed as well? You very well may find nothing anywhere, and end up having a custom flashed PCM....

i have seen 23psi out of my truck and i has no chip. It will blow a little smoke every nown then when i get on it
