what year is your car? You can probably pop open the ECU cover under the hood. Then remove the ecu and take it apart and look for evidence of chipping.

If you have installed or have access to a boost gauge, and your car is chipped you will be running around 15 psi, if not under 10psi, as long as your running premium gas which you hopfully are. There is a significant difference if the car is chipped.
