<span class="highlight">Chip</span> or exhaust?

Don't do either or both, not enough gain,

Do a "Bilbo" and shove a Chevy 6.5 V8 in instead.

From all reports on here, it will go like a shower of Shyte.

Don't forget it's still Phunny Phryday.

I had a Dtronic in my old TD100. It would be the first thing I do when I buy another diesel. I've presently got a V8 100.

Rob I have a few mates with Rice Burners fitted with Chips, they all swear by them. I have followed one of these guys with Prado, first trip was standard and the following weekend with a chip fitted, he was towing a 18ft van both times and the pull away power was very noticable....

Only thing I have seen do a bigger increase is the fitting of LPG to a diesel, this of course has a couple of extra bonuses, better economy and longer range due to extra tank.

Just did the steinbauer and beau exhaust on the td troopy in the last week to assist towing and have not done enough yet with the van on to guage it all but without the van on it feels like the car is back to the original tare weight, about a tonne less, (now weighs 3.3t) with nothing holding it back. Plenty there to pull away with.

Howdy Rob ,
I have listened to a lot of comments and have finally decided on getting a chip fitted to my 100TD by ARB this coming Wednesday . I am think the gain would be bigger than just extractors .

I put a Steinbauer on my patrol, towing 1 .5 tonne trailer every day and it is a definate improvememnt in power.
Go for the chip

Before you go ahead, why not check out an LPG injection system - by all claims they make a significant difference to performance and economy. Will cost about $2000 after the rebate, (unless you're from WA when it will only cost $1000 including state rebate), you could replace a sub tank with an LPG tank and will save in vicinity of 15-20% in costs, improve performance noticably, reduce emissions to negligible amounts, and still be able to run on diesel if there is no LPG available! The difference to my TD Jack is substantial - more torque/power/revs freely right up to red line.

I put a Dtronic in mine - I could not believe he difference - Very easy to fit if you want to do it yourself

I first went with a 3" mandrel bent exhaust as I had to replace the exhaust after damaging it. This improved mid range performance.
I then put in a D'tronic chip which has improved the lower range performance.
It also doesn't drop down to third on hills and suddenly accelerate like it used to.
