Hi.
I am considering adding a performance chip to my standard 1kz te prado,(2005 model) i have read all the promises of more power and better fuel economy however I am suspicious of these promises and would appreciate feedback for owners of this particular engine who have actually added a performance chip and can speak from experience as to:
1- HOW MUCH MORE POWER THEY GAINED.
2- WAS FUEL ECONOMY BETTER OR WORSE
3- ANY SIDE EFFECTS SUCH AS BLOWING SMOKE ETC.
4-IS THERE REDUCED ENGINE LIFE OR OTHER ENGINE RELIABILITY ISSUES.
5- ALSO WHAT BRAND CHIP WAS USED.
I have read this site and it gave me more questions than answers.

Answers to the questions i have raised would assist in deciding if its a good option or not, i would hate to compromise engine life or reliability, or lower my fuel economy.
Regards
Jeff
