Performance chip on shebay
« on: 21 May 2008, 22:54:53 »
Just seen a £45 chip on ebay to suit the 2.5 V6 Omegas. Has anyone tried these? The seller claims it raises bhp to 191 and torque to 261Nm.

Was thinking of getting one, but dont fancy been stung or worse, damaging my engine.

Thanks in advance for any info. ;)

If the claim is true, that will be more than your gearbox is rated at (250Nm), though if a manual, should be OK...
