Anyone tried a Roo systems chip??

Mate has a Roo System chip in his BT50 - rattles, smokes, stops, limps. Been back 3 times so far trying to sort it out. He's disappointed but persisting.
Roo Systems to their credit haven't taken any money off him - haven't charged him for the chip until it's right.

I told you the Prado is a hard one to crack ... but no one believes me. And BTW, to make 20% gain is bloody easy. Try 30 - 40% straight out of the box!

Chip-IT - I assume that LOL actually means no

I would have thought now that all the bugs are ironed out, you would have been jumping at the chance to have someone be the Guinea Pig and test it for you and provide a genuine response on its performance. Atleast that way you would be able to put all the doubters to rest, and thus increase sales...

A small price to pay for a successful business

Dodgy
computer says no......
They cannot afford to give you one and pay for my "cash for comments"
Now back on track with the thread . (There ya go Matty)

mlc, no animals were harmed in testing the chip and no cash has been received for my commrnts until all members are 100% happy excluding dodgy Dave.

I agree that the power increase is really nice, but for me the cold start rattle was just too bad, so I have taken the Chip-IT off. If I win the lottery I may look at one that does not pump up the fuel... as it seems the Prado fuel system is only just capable at the best of times.
Without the chip I have no problems.
Any offers for a used Chip?

I just chipped mine, by adding 4 cylinders and another turbo

but seriously, since upgrading to the 2012 over the 2010 and then having the hesitation issue at a 110 on cruise fixed, the thing goes better than ever.

They seem to have boosted the torque down low and with the auto hooking up better in the later models, I would suggest a software/firmware upgrade to ecu and auto. If that doesn`t fix any issues , then maybe look at a chip.

yes, test drove all the dual cab utes as I was looking for more towing capacity and then when jumping back in the Prado to head home was wondering why I would leave this. Seemed stupid, they are still all overpriced farm trucks of varying degrees. Then just for a bit of a laugh really drove the big Prado. That was it really. Now need to tighten the belt for a while.

Has anyone got Chip Tuning's "Dominator" chip on the 150 Prado, and if so, how's it going?

Since your in Perth talk to GTurbo in Balcatta. They can do anything from mild to wild using Unichip and/or their own custom turbos.

HI, and before anyone jumps down my throat and says read the whole thread i have read enough as it is.
All I'm doing is giving my opinion on the whole diesel chip situation.
A chip be it what brand does not matter and speak from man years of experience will not perform to its potential unless it is able/has been dyno tuned once fitted to your vehicle, regardless of the engine management system's in place your engine will not be identical to the bloke sitting beside you at the traffic lights, simple plug and play will get it close but it just simply won't be of MAXIMUM benefit if it isn't tuned directly to your vehicle. And if i was spending over 1G on a performance mod I would want the maximum benefit.
Just my opinion

Has Chip-it gone broke? I can't find them on the Internet anymore
