I fitted omegatoys chip to my omega and gave it a very noticable increase in extra bhp and torque.

I hear he's moving house at the minute but drop him a PM, you won't be disapointed.

thanks i pm,d him but if he,s moving house he will be busy, what does he take for the chips ?do u remember? thanks

Can't remember the charge (seeing as I've yet to pay him  :-[).  You'll need to remove ECU and provide the part number last 3 digits.  Some are socketed, but certainly 428 needs a socket soldered in first.

Gonna have to try this chip one day on my Omega 2.5TD Manual, As Ive said before my old banger BM 325TDSE really does go like Hell and is a lot better on MPG, I know the Meggy is a heavy bus, but the difference in performance between these two cars in incredible, In my mind a lot more than 30 BHP.

remember the 3 series is a fair bit lighter.  an its power comes from the torque, which is the big improvement in the chip

I have spoken with Omegatoy and he has given me a price, which I considered to be very good. I won't say how much but I was pleasantly surprised  ;)

Just can't wait to get it done now - need to get a new clutch on standby methinks. (mines a bit worse for wear)

You do need the chip for your specific ECU type, and for the Omega TD (Bosch DDE2 and 2.1) there are lots and lots!

Forgive the ignorance, but where is the ECU on the Omega TD? I haven't come across it yet.

As far as I know the BMW ECU cant just be plonked in the Meggy (can it ??), I would image all the characterises of the Meggy are held in the ECU together with the Cars security details, if any one knows different please let me know!
