Some are, some aren't.

Ok thanks,i opened the ecu and it has sockets but there's plastic covers over the chips so couldn't read them,didn't fancy stripping the ecu to remove them
I plugged the ecu back in and read the coding...all i got was a part no.and rs2
Basically was trying to find out if it had been chipped/mapped
Ecu has been open before
Is there another way to see if its been played with

Yes, remove the plastic clips so you can see the two chips in question. The clips are just there to ensure that the chips don't work their way out of the sockets.

Factory ECU chip clips look like these:

Does not really mean anything. It is possible to have stock software on different chips as well.
