Hi guys,

Just got one in the mail yesterday, will let you know how it goes

Thanks mate, i will be very interested to hear how it goes

OK guys, installed and what a difference.

Acceleration increase is what I've noticed mainly at this stage (haven't got to drive it intensively yet).

Took me 25mins to fit and bought it from here: chipexpress.com/products/1600/

Might look at turning it up slightly, but has made a significant performance increase so far.

I paid (including postage to 6180):

From amount $667.11 AUD
To amount £425.00 GBP
Exchange rate: 1 AUD = 0.637076 GBP


The email I got from them was:

thanks for your email.

Yes this is the plug-in (pre-common rail) electronic injection pump system you require for you Australian Patrol: chipexpress.com/products/1600/
You can order online using the above link, delivery to AU takes 10 days.

Kind regards,

Peter @ ChipExpress.com

So up to you guys!
I should've taken photo's for ya's sorry. Might get a couple from under the hood!?

Definitely worth the money i reckon.
Turned the settings up slightly and no noticible change, so turned it back and very happy with that.

The chip has given more "pull", take off and the acceleration seems to big the biggest impact.
Also I notice that the revs are now at 3000RPM doing 110kmh instead of 3300RPM. I'd say either better fuel economy or my rev gauge is playing up lol.

Hope this info helps. The guys at Chip Express have very good communication and it was approx 10 days in the post from the UK.
Also you can pay via Paypal.

CoR.

Thanks for the review mate, you have pretty much sold me on one lol.. What model troll have you got? For $670 its a fair sight cheaper than some of the other brands over here

[CoR]

No problems at all.

My wife drove the 4x4 to work today and is very happy with it - no hiccups at all.
We have a 2001 GU TD 3.0L Wagon.

The reason I bought it was that someone on another fourm somewhere bought one from these guys and was very happy also. And yeh the price got me to lol.

All the best!

How does it go if you have a dawes and needle set up instead of computer controled turbo? or make no difference? I was planning on getting the dawes and needle setup after tax check with pyro guage and other anti grenade items

No idea sorry mate, I haven't tried it personally.
