How to tell if car has been previously tuned

Hey guys maybe a stupid question but one of the many repairs since I've owned the car one of the mechanics said there was a bracket still attached to my car the he recognized to be associated with a turbonetics single turbo kit. So I'm wondering is there a way to tell if the car has ever been tuned before that might affect its current stock state? Thanks in advance for any help

You can check to see if it has a uprev flash on the car buy holding down on the cruise coontrol and push the button twice and see if the dash board flashes twice. If it does you have a uprev flash on the car

cruise control will also work if you are tuned on the osiris software as well. hold cruise set speed down and hit cancel button twice. if it blinks tho be sure to repeat process and only hit cancel once in order to set everything back to normal

Also if you can get your hands on an uprev cable just plug it in and load Osiris, if it displays your ecu part number as "blah blah blah uprev flashed ecu" then its been tuned lol
