Default Do you see a chip here?

Sorry to ask such a newbie question, but I don't want to order a chipped ECU if for some chance I have one. Thanks and flame away!

Nope, doesnt seem to be any aftermarket soldering. If you thought it was chipped it could still have been flashed.

Hook up a boost gauge and see what it reads to make sure.

I have a gauge, but have had some problems with boost leaks. I fixed the TBB yesterday and it started intermittently boosting to 10psi which appears to be stock. I still have a little leak somewhere that is causing limp mode occasionally. No codes. I ordered a leak tester and F pipe as well.

Yup, I see a lot of chips on there.

They all look stock. But you may be flashed, most tuners no longer solder in new chips, just flash the stock one.

If you want to check for that, run block 115 with Vag-com, to see what your actual vs request boost is.
