tuning one... I understand they are de-tuned for the boxes (?) AR35 now fitted, now need more power than a 1.9 passat    

[unlucky alf]

chip the ecu

[tmx]

it lives in the same place as a 2.5tds oil filter

[miniator]

as it is a detuned version of the 325tds engine could the "extra" bits not be transferred over (ie, the intercooler for one) and then remap it to the same power as a remapped 325TDS (around 190bhp mark)

just a theory mind

[GmasterT]

Wheres the best place to chip it then?

Also, I thought it had an IC and have heard things about range-rover IC's and turbos being the way forward

The BMW M51D lump is detuned to (I'm sure) 128 BHP in the Omega.

It is intercooled, the intercooler is mounted forward of the O/S/F wheel-arch liner and behind the bumper.

A chip will set you back around £70, and reverts the lump to BMW spec of a lively 143 BHP - I reckon that it's a bit higher though!
'PM' TheBoy or Omegatoy for further details.

Believe me, it's well worth doing ..... !

As said, first move is to send a 'PM' to TheBoy or Omegatoy and go from there.

Be warned though, if yours has the standard AR25 auto-box, you'll need to change it to the AR35 version. Usually a few on here from the chaps who break them at reasonable prices. If you've a manual 'box, it'll cope with the increased torque okay.
