OK thanks for the help people.
I understand people are entitled to there own opinion. Thats not a prob. Maybe i jumped the gun abit with the response.
Sorry.

Its not that im a boy racer its just IF there was a chipped ECU and I was getting it for free that ran with the engine im getting, I may as well get it. But if not then I wont go to the bother of changing ECU's if I am not gonna benifit.

I was told again by a few people on this island that the  PSNI Rapid Response vehicles were chipped. Ah well not to worry.
Will keep my ECU in.

By the way just taking time and looking through the site im impressed by the knowledge and info on it.
Keep up the good work!

At the risk of re-opening a can of worms I did hear somewhere that the PSNI did have a few Turbo V6s built for them.

Courtenays, perhaps?

Surely they had more sense, and use a proper engineering company

It has been common practice for many years, for police vehicles in N.I. to have modifications which may not be found elsewhere. The most obvious example is probably the Land Rovers which used to be used for regular patrols.These were armour plated (for obvious reasons) and were so heavy that they had turbos fitted to try to compensate for all the extra weight.It is feasible that some Omegas had engine upgrades of some description for similar reasons.Soeone mentioned in another thread that Peter Robinson was seen arriving at stormont in an Omega.I would bet good money that the car had been armour plated.had bullet proof glass etc, so god knows what it would tip the scales at,over 2 tonnes I would imagine.It would also be a safe bet that it would be required to have plenty of grunt in order to make a quick getaway if an emergency situation arose, so it would come as no surprise to find it had been chipped/turbo,d or whatever.
