Ive seen this on Ebay a few times now and wonder if it is true/worth it?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OPEL-VAUXHALL-16V-X20XEV-chip-159HP-Astra-Calibra-Omega_W0QQitemZ140299914532QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item140299914532&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318
Seems genuine IMO.

Thats what i thought. They are 136BHP when brand new and shiney apparently.
Slightly tempted, although im not sure how id raise the fuel pressure as it says it needs 3 bar...

If somethings too good to be true, then it probably is

seen as your only upping the pressure you can fit it inline after the std one if you were to buy a thing similar to what mobby posted. although there should be enough c20let ones kicking about. alternatively you can crush the std one in a vice. need a pressure gauge to test what you have crushed it to though. thats the cheaper cheaper version.
