You can get a chip or a tuning box....speak to Mike at Mtek Performance...

I have driven a Vectra with one fitted and it did drive better...

I use a box and it makes a lot of difference to the driveability.

I would only advise against a re-map if you have a warranty on the vehicle, at least the box can be removed pretty quickly if needed.

Worth speaking to your insurance company though to make sure they cannot back down on any claims because of the upgrade, it only cost me about £20 extra so well worth the peace of mind.

We provide many options.

The map for the 2.2DTI cannot be downloaded, only replaced, so a tuning box would be best if you ever want to set it back to standard at any point.

I have a customer who had a new map uploaded to his 2.0 DTI Vectra.  It now shuts down his sister in laws 170bhp+ Toyota Celica :D

For a 2.5TD they can be done relatively easily (if you are lucky) - do a search and there are a few threads here with all the info you will need.  :y

Chipping a 2.5 TD will mean you really need an upgraded AR35 gearbox or it will blow it pretty quickly due to the increased torque...not sure if this is the same for the 2.2??
