Unknown ECU chip

I recently bought a 2001 X. I did not know that it was chipped but I noticed a greenish colored chip on the back of the ECU. It has no markings so I was wondering if anyone might have a clue who makes this chip. There is a big difference driving the X with or without the chip. Thanks again.
