Hi,
I've bought recently A6 3.0 TDI 272hp. The dealer sold it to me as 'remapped', but I'm not 100% sure if its remapped. My dad has A6 3.0 TDI 204HP remapped and mine feels much faster for 20~ hp difference, but he doubts mine is remapped anyway.

So I've started digging with VCDS. First I've started checking the flash status.
ECU:
20210701 113852
20210701 113903


Tranny:
20210701 113837
20210701 113828


In the TCU there is one programming attempt, but is this reliable or this can be counted as software update as well? In the ECU there is 2 counters which I'm not sure what they are for.
Then after that I've done some real time data. I wasn't able to find the turbo boost (and I don't know the stock one anyway) so I've monitored 'Engine Torque' and the peak is 660nm (stock the car is supposed to be 580nm) - is this reliable?

For the tranny I've done some logging on the clutch pressures. I only saw once a peak of 13.8 bar, but then I wasn't able to see it again and the peak bar was 11.8 on 4k RPM.

What is the proper way to find out if there is ECU and TCU remap besides taking the car to a shop/rollers (currently need the car and don't have much time)?
Any advice would be appreciated.
