Hopefully not an over asked question

How can I tell what/who's software chip I have on my car? (2002 MK4 1.8T ) I have the Torque app for android but I'm not sure if that will work. I bought the car with the chip already installed.

PS I did a search for " how to tell what chip I have" and it came up empty
Thanks

Almost impossible. Sometimes companies will put a sticker on the outside of the ecu. You could go to apr, unitronic, revo flashing stations and they could tell you if it's their software or not. Other than that there is no sure way of telling by plugging something in yourself.

Thanks. I'm just doing some "google" searching now and it's coming up with the same results.
I know it's chipped. Just not sure who's it is. Running at about 26 PSI

If you send the file to a tuner, they migght be able to read the code. Worst case they'll interpret the edited MAPs for ya.
