If it hasn't then it very likely needs to be. Plus what other mods can you not see? I would suggest that you get a mapper to have a look at it. If in doubt I strongly suggest you don't 'boot it' until someone has had a look. Engines are expensive. For the sake of a few £100 for someone to give it the once over vs the risk of many £1000s for a rebuild, I wouldn't chance it.

the best way to find out if its been chipped is to take a picture of the inside of the ecu and post it up on here, and we will tell whats what
