I own a pd tdi and love it. It gets really good fuel economy. It's my baby
Anyways, I was told it was chipped and had pd100 injectors in that are set at pd150 spec. So basically they are pd150's. So I'm wondering, is there a way to find out if I have them or not? Can I use a computer software program to see certain things? I have own this car for about 2 yrs and have been on this site as a guest for about 1 yr doing a lot of reading. But I just joined to ask this question since I can't find my answers. I hope somebody can help me figure this out. Please. And thank you.

A chip tune can be visible through an eeprom dump, or a tuner looking for certain traits. If you had part numbers or a dyno tune it would show what kind of mods you might have.

You could probably use VCDS to look at injector duration or fuel flow to see if the injectors are larger and if you have a tune.

How do I do that? Can you explain to me the process? And when I do it, it's going to be all Greek to me so what should I do after? Should I post it here? I don't know what's normal and what not. My friends bf may be able to help me too but I'm not sure. Please explain.

First you have to have the VCDS cable from ross tech to monitor the sensors and whatnot. I don't know how to find larger injectors just using VCDS but I would think that at idle, the injectors would be open for a shorter period of time to prevent the larger injector from injecting too much fuel for idle. As a diesel runs off fuel instead of a throttle, too much fuel would make rpm increase at idle.

However, the easiest way is to have a chip tuner look at your file and they could tell right away if you have a chip tune and the tune specs. Some chip tuners are kermatdi, rocketchip, malonetuning.

It does idle fine but what if my tune was set for larger injectors but i had the original injectors in, would the car idle low?

I'm not 100% sure because the car's computer may compensate and it may still idle fine. But you would see the injector time increase.
