Has it been re-mapped ?? Help please
Hi all,
Trying to suss if my car has been re-mapped.
Below is a picture of the ecu, what are the green plugs before the ecu?
Any help appreciated, do I need to take the cover off and look inside?
Cheers!

The only real way to know if its been mapped is by getting it plugged in and reading the data off it, or get a mapper to plug it in and have a look for ya, there no real way of seeing if its been mapped just by looking at the ecu, unless it has a sicker fitted to the cover.

What boost is it running? That's a clear way of seeing if its been remapped

On a 6S it would usually need a daughterboard to map it. Just pop cover off and post up some pics.

how does that work out.
A standard STI will run 1 bar and mine runs 1 bar but has a daughter board and has been mapped
