Yeah, I saw this on another thread!

For the hp gain i was just saying 25hp to be conservative (is that english? well you know what I mean! )

I personnaly hope to be around 230hp at the crank and >200 at the wheels.

For the planning, I would say early 2005 because we need to source M50 manifold (i think Alpina527 is out opf stock at the moment!)

For the location, I have a couple of idea in mind as I know a guy who run a truck business so he has warhouse space around athlone (yes, we also have macdonal in athlone, 2 to be precise!).

Sure Dublin would be more convenient but I don't have contacts there! ;-)

fair enough - I don't know why but I had assumed gains of about 20 or 30bhp on the 2.5 M52 with a proper chip & remap (not including manifold & TB).

@lodo - if chippeduk did come over here, when & where would you think of doing this? (remembering that it must be close to a McDonalds)!

i can get 17hp in many cases on the 2.8.

i am unsure of exact figure when added to the inlet by alpina527 but it will be noticable and impressive.

given that the M52 manifold & TB conversion gives about 20 ponies - does a chip not throw more than about 5 on top of this?

I know some here are interested by going this way to get a bit more out of our cars!

I was myself interested in doing it. After looking at it I found a couple of possibilities around dublin, working out @+/- 500€.

Then browsing on the forum it looks like one of our fellow member (chippeduk) as very good review for his products. I am now in contact with him. For me, he'll need to do a rolling mapping (something like this!, he need my car anyway), so I have two options:

1) I am the only one interested in ireland so I have to drive to birmingham to get it done,

2) We are few interested, we split the cost of flying him over+guinness+macdonald.

Typical cost are 50/75£ for chip and around 125£ for mapping (maybe a bit more for //Ms).

For those like me with a 2.8L M52 engine, if we add the M50 manifold/throttle body we are good for 25hp extra and 500£ less in the bank! (32€/hp )
