Thing is your delving into territory which the superchips rep will be doing, it's not necessary to even touch your ecu yourself, speak to superchips and get a number of the local superchips specialist.  They will remove the chip and put in a piggyback chip holder and then new chip in.  If you've been meddling yourself they may not want anything to do with the job, as that's what they specialise in, it's all part of the service so to speak.  You don't get a chip in the post, the superchips rep does all the work.

If you speak with your rep, as I did and mention what mods you have or intend to do, they can alter the chips perimeters say a little even more.

Ideally you fit your 3.0 mods and cams first, then chip it.

Like I said before, the car feels smoother, but didn't rip my wig off on the way home! But I was happy to pay the money.

If your prepared to travel, speak to Richard Davies 07971 655701. Or email

sales@wiltshire.superchips.co.uk

Or ring superchips themselves who might help you with a local guy to you, but I can vouch for rich, he did it on his driveway in the back of his van, this saved me some money as he didn't come to me.

Rich is one of the remaining long term/established reps who cut his teeth in the more fluid tuning market of the Ford RS fraternity, he worked alongside Ford in Swindon remapping and chipping the various RS's around of the 80's and 90's.

All I can say, is speak to rich and hold your horses!

Cheers Dean

You get to keep your original chip as well, take it home with you in a little box!

My car is a 3.0 auto 1999 MV6.

Before I went to see Rich at superchips, I already had my Courtenay/Piper cams in, K&N panel filter with cheese grater air box fitted.  Rich told Superchips HQ that I would be fitting a full Jetex stainless system and sports cats, and they tweeked what was their off the shelf map.

I'd spoken to Motorsport Developments beforehand as well, who said if I'd fitted cams they couldn't help me with an off the shelf chip, and I'd have to have a costly live map.  They told me as well, that it is essential to have all your mods you intend to fit completed, just in case they tweek the map on the generic chip.

But hey, if your eager, give Motorsport Developments a ring for a live map, and when your done go back and modify the live map at great cost again, we're talking a few hundred quid mind per shot.

Less haste, more thinking, then go do it.

Personal experience I'd call it.

Im passing on personal experiences, I've been modifying cars now of various guises for 20 years.  Meddling/dabbling with the omega is back to basics.

Playing around with turbocharged petrol engines is another with upwards of 300bhp.

Best Turbo route is to fit a 2.0 turbo engine from an Astra or Calibra Zafira GSi etc.. then tune that up. Let someone else (ie Opel Engine Designers) do all the design, leaving you do simply tweak the chip, lightened flywheels slight boost increase etc..

I'd do all the G-cam route, polish ports etc.. the works... make it the best V6 engine there is in the UK. Then come the new year, take pity and give it to me  :y  :D  ;D  :D
