Ok I think I get what your asking.

Are you trying to say this.

Is there any way to know if my cars ECU has been upgraded to an aftermarket ECU upgrade.

Yep, kinda. I bought it used and the seller told me that it has a chip chipped in. Can I see with my eyes or should I have my car tested? Also I want to mention another thing. When I start the engine, the average fuel consumption is written 10.7L/100km. Is that normal? Thanks...

Do you still have the contact info for the person you bought the car from? I ask because you should contact them and ask them what ECU upgrade is in there. I mean you can't just look and tell what company it is from.

One way to tell if your ECU has been chipped is by seeing how much boost your making.

Example: A 1999 s70 awd makes about 5-7 pounds of boost in stock form. I have a SpeedTuning USA ECU upgrade done to my car now and I am making 12-15 pounds of boost. I can tell how much boost I am making because I have a boost gauge that tells me how much boost I am making.

So if you get a boost gauge and hook it up you will be able to tell how much boost your making. I don't know how much your car makes in stock form but if you tell me your readings it might be easier to tell.

-----------------------

As far as your fuel consumption goes I can't say. Sounds like your in Europe somewhere.

I see... It is right that I'm in Europe, in Turkey. Fuel consumption seemed to be a bit high, though the Turbo is incredible. It, kinda, earns that consumption rate Thanks 4 answerin' me. C ya...
