Any advice on giving the engine a bit more? Is there a chip for a 3.2?

how much you want spend??
for about 2K£  you can fit kompressor kit with Eton M90 then you get about 280bhp

For 2K£? Where can I get this? All I have found was around 10000 Euro somewhere in Germany (don´t remember the web page now).

I dont say this is kit plug & play for 2£ but,
kompressor you can buy on US or germany ebay for 250-400£
ECU master- from 130£
kompressor mounting + wheels + belt -round 250£
intake manifold -200£
remap ECU-300£
and few other bits.
one of my mates will fit eaton M90 to his 2.5 so when I get more info will post here

How fast do you want it to be? lol, my 2.6 is fast enough, the 3.2 must be better

You only gain around 12/13 brake on a remap on 2.6 & 3.2 for around £295.00, website here: the S's that are blue have mobile remap services

hmmm, so in the entire intake and exhaust system, top end, cams, compression ratio, squish band, all that stuff and whatever else is involved, there are no improvements to be made? no gains to be had? no emmissions issues or compromises to be got round?

Wow, thats got to be a first for production engine.

218 odd bhp from a 3.2 for example? not bad i guess, but surely there's more in there somewhere?

There's always more to come from an engine, it's just a matter of paying for it.

There isn't a lot to be gained by chipping one (OP's question) IMHO and, given the cost involved on these ECUs I would doubt it's worthwhile.

Now, if you were to strip the engine and start again you could probably get quite a bit more power out of it by addressing the areas you mention and others but these days standard production engines don't generally have weaknesses that can be easily exploited for more power - naturally aspirated engines, at any rate.

seem to remember someone in states having cadillac (us omega) that had a supercharger fitted and it was a car specific kit - try as i might i can't find it again on web! car was silver and was a v6 looked like a facelift elite it seemed straightforward with remap being flashed.
