Just spotted this...

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1153907133

For those of you that don't know, Mtek Performance is a company that specialises in performance mods, and I know a few people here already have chips supplied by them.

Looks like he's running a deal, similar to that he used to on 'other' forums.

[TheBoy]

I'm interested in one of these myself... ...very tempting...

Anyone had one care to comment?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Laidback66 had one and it was very good......got to say, I also am tempted!

[TheBoy]

As well as increased drivability, I am interested in increases to mpg whilst stuck at 50mph (on a good day) to/from work...

Nothing for a 3.2 though! Ho-hum!!

3.2 is flash based, and needs ecu programmer to do it...

How do you tell if your car is suitable or not :-/

[TheBoy]

Send a PM to the guy, he will be able to tell you

[M-Tek Performance]

theboy,

they'd be improved upon

STMO123,

you'd need to look at your ecu and give me the numbers off it.

if it mentions 2.6.1 or 2.8.1 then it'l be ok...

i was looking at this earlier, there are a couple of queries/resevations

the insurance, i know that some people don't declare chips as a mod but surely the insurance company is going to want to know.

Relaibility, fitting a component that will change the way the car drives/behaves/performs will surely also affect the longevity of the engine as well.

fitting, has anyine ever fitted a chip? is it just 'plug and play'

finally what sort of improvements (on a general basis) can you expect to see from something like this?

I'm interested, i would just like those little niggles put to the back of my mind where they belong

[M-Tek Performance]

Jay,

legally yes you are meant to tell your insurance company.

Reliability will not be affected.  the car will be better to drive, more responsive, better on fuel when driven sensibly.  It will not affect the longetivity of any engine component.  that is purely down to how you look after it yourself, chipped or unchipped.

The chip takes approx 10 mins to fit.  you simply lever out the original one and replace it with the new one.

you will get better performance, improved fuel economy, better pick up..  i dont see a negative, except that you're going to want to give your car full beans alot LOL

I hope this helps.

any further question, please ask.

Dave and Marks DTM have given praise here, good enough for me put me down provisionally based upon....

A check tonight re compatability when i get home .....

Do we have any sort of differences in performance and fuel consumption to be able to measure differences?


 

[M-Tek Performance]

Compared to my brothers none chipped 3.0 Omega, i get at least 5mpg better round town and better performance.

[Markie]

and does it feel quicker if so from start or mid range?

[M-Tek Performance]

bit of both.
