1HZ-FTE Power Chip

Post by TRB100 »

Looking for anyone that has had a Factory Turbo LC100 Chipped.
I have a MANUAL 1HZ-FTE hoping to get rid of Turbo LAG & get some more power for towing. It is fairly new so don't want to upgrade exhaust yet. Any Chips work good? I have looked at DP Chip,Steinbaur,Rapid.
What is the best? Thanks.

Thanks for replies & links. yes correction 1HD-FTE

Warranty is a concern thats why Rapid is at the top of my list as apparantly it can be concealed on installation & "switched off" when the Cruiser goes to the dealer.
Exhaust would be the go but my misses is worried about noise. I guess i am reluctant as well as it would be a shame to chuck a near new system away.(I'd like to ding it first at least) This LC hasn't even done 10,000ks

Maybe Exhaust first is the go.

Wondering if anyone has Rapid fitted without 3in exhaust?
Cheers
