[markspark]

personaly no and no i wouldn't buy one i would do my home work on here 1st and see what comes up i think the boy is the one who has the info on the chips ect (if im wrong sorry) there are a good few on here that have used chips ect

[scimmy_man]

Mmm snake oil

[hoofing it]

I'd rather buy from a member on here + there's three chips to choose from

[scimmy_man]

I had my dog chipped, its no faster.

what do you mean 3 to choose from? 3 different fueling maps or just different ecu types

as highlighted 3 different maps.

I notice the seller states that no other mods are required, has he not heard of the inevitable AR25 self destructing gearbox episodes.

sounds good, i usually set the 325tds up with a chip then a boost controller set to 18psi for best results, so im sure the omega will be somewhat very similar as is same engine

Check out the sellers feedback - hes got plenty mostly positive - you could even contact one of his previous buyers via ebay to see how they went on!

[dervdoc]

well iv pm'd ''theboy'' in regard to chipping so hopefully be able to sort something out there, keep it in house ya know

[krivoyrog25]

why don't you start with a BMW ECU, should give around 20BHP gain. The same engine in the BMW has around 150 ish BHP I believe.
You can maybe get cheap from the scrap yard.

BMW designate this engine as the M51D IIRC; with 143 BHP on tap as standard.

It's detuned to 128 BHP in the Omega.
A 'Plus 5' chip (5%) gives you roughly 150 BHP therefore.
Cost's around 70 quid from 'our man' - see also:

Nope, no electronic boost control on the Omega (there wasn't on the same lump in the BMW and Ranger Rover either). Boost control only appeared with the 2.5 common rail
