Re: ECU - Chipped

I doubt it has been chipped, since shipping isn't quite easy and doable with modern Alfas.
It was, probably, remaped.

A reset wont take it to factory values since they are in a new map, recorded in the ECU memory. A reset only erases the adaptive values that the ECU learns while you drive/how you drive.

Hope it helps.
