Hi again all, I have a 1999 omega elite 3ltr. If I get it chipped what sort of results would I get with regards to BHP & fuel consumption????

Oh I can thoroughly recommend the Mtek chip. Quite a few others will too :)

Gains on an auto are most noticeable on the start off (much quicker) and over 4k rpm.
In power terms I would say 10% (normally aspirated remember so gains are limited).

Fuel economy was slightly improved, when I was driving sensibly...  ::)

As far as I'm aware the Mtek chip replaces the ECU chip & is in effect a re-map?

I got one a few weeks ago from him.  Works fine and a worthwhile improvement.  10 minute job to fit.....

Just need to replace a leaking the vacuum tank and one multiram vacuum actuator  (COOOEEEE...  TIMBUK !!!   ;D  ) and it will be all fandabbydozzy!
