Hi All,
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST IN ADVANCE!!!!
I'm new to this and being a new member I hope im not starting an old thread or
A War Of the Chip's, or A War of the Manufacture etc...
I am trying to find a little more performance out of our 2009 KDJ150 series Prado Kakadu 3.0L T/D Auto and its hard to find people's opinion's + trouble's in the one thread in regards to diesel performance chip's, type's, brand's and if any updates/changes to module were avalible scince they have installed and most importantly extremely happy with from day dot and had no drama's with.
Im guessing it to be more a Popularity count on who has what brand, why, and how they made their mind up, (Please direct me if there is!!) rather than the chip manufactures or dyno tuners saying mines bigger, better or does it this way than yours does and I'm right and you're wrong. I guess it would be nice to hear from dyno tuners too on what they like and dislike and found easy to tune and make reliable & usable gains from and also people who found a good tuner in there area...
I dont want to know how it works, or what ticks when, OR the manufacture trying to big note there product. I would rather know what people find works well and are happy with and who they used to tuned it to perfection.
(I would have become a diesel tech & completed a Coarse if it interested me that much to know thoery and technical bulls#$t, thats why I am paying the dollars!)
If the issues/ problems had, out-way the frustrations???
But all aside I'm having great difficulty in deciding on one!!!
There are so many on the market and each having there goods & bads it is hard to decied on one. When approaching different people in the area and asking what they think and recommend its all over the shop with no straight answer or decision helping made and getting a bit of a feeling they are one sided. (maybe getting better dealer prices from one brand to another)
I just want something that will work first time its installed and not a bitch to tune, play up, cause fault codes, limp mode/shut-down/de-rate the engine, make it run rough or cause it to rattle like a jar of marbles & Months after its been tuned will need retuning because its a prick of a thing or performance is lacking.
So its simple, I'm looking for a brand that works and does what it's been designed to do and make more reliable and usable power.
I will be doing an exhaust upgrade soon to help with the power gain.
Muffler or Full Sys. not sure on yet either, help on that would be great too...
Its also used for towing and is auto so I don't want any drowning or door rattling system.
So I hope at the end of this we have some decent and honest opinions without the technical breakdown that will help me and others in this scenaro on the right path in the chip department!!!
Thanks and Regards
MATT.
