    Can't chip that old, the chips these guys are talking about are for common rail stuff
    But pump mods and big turbo would suit the 80 series just nicely

    There is a couple of chip places that off full refunds if your unhappy.

    The chips are normally plug and play so easy to pull out for services.

    Thats fine but you could have worded it differently it sounded like you were blaming the chip for your shitty clutch.
    Oh and no need to have a crying session toyota were very good about upgrading the clutch in the work truck that was fucked around 30,000k and that wasnt even chipped so they should fix yours like all the rest.

    Lol, most plug and play chips just work as an interceptor to feed to real ecu slightly false info to think it needs to run slightly higher injector duty to increase fueling. Everything is software based these days and they don't usually replace a "chip" like in the past, so any that modify your ecu you're just paying for an altered fuel map, basically a 5 minute download, but you're paying for the software development.
    Most diesels from factory have air reserves from highly efficient turbos, programmed into the maps to allow for varied fuels, maintenance and to prevent smoking at any acceleration, chip just uses up that 10-15% reserve

    The early ones had clutch issues apparently compared to the new ones, having said that I never had any clutch issues with my previous Hilux 4wd but it was standard.

    The gearbox was another story......

    Only the cheap versions do that and it farks the engines real quick. We see it all the time at work.

    The proper expensive chips do a lot more than upset the factory settings. That is why they cost a lot more, as they have had the correct programming put in place. These chips are reliable and have decent backup service as well. You get what you pay for. Buying a upgrade chip off someone who is not a specialist is only asking for trouble.

    I assume mine is a piggy back as apparently it plugs in, don't know, but judging by it's performance a year plus on it must be a bloody slow learner
