Pretty sure the guy in the vid is the owner of roo systems.........soo just because he drives a Toyota and associated himself with a magazine you write him off??

If you are right on pricing than they may struggle with there product.......but I know a few that swear by his products and reputation.

Checked out he D4 at the 4wd show today..........the number plate pretty much confirms who may own it

It was the best looking car on their stand by far.........didn't look and quicker or more powerful than the white D4 I parked next in the carpark

So now we know why he bought the D4.

There was a bit of controversy about it when it was announced in these forums, and he copped it a bit with the 4wd action crew too.

I think you'll find the history with Glenn is he has a landcruiser and a patrol. Im guessing as test vehicles for his business.

After the dozens of reports on LC forums (son has a 200 series) with damaged injectors and subsequent engine destruction....all having this companies product "upgrade" as the common factor, I wouldn't touch a thing these blokes offer.

Have read some fairly unflattering comments about quality of Roosystems work on a Patrol and Landcruiserpoint forum. The drag test was meaningless as no times were posted. Video shows them opening the ecu which would void the warranty. So not for me.

All D4s have to have the chip opened and bench mapped. it is the only way to bypass the Bosch system.

Please stop saying something will void a warranty. Warranty still has to be honoured unless the modification caused the failure. Modification to ECU could give them as reason to try to refuse a claim for engine failure though.
Some map suppliers provide their own warranty to cover your engine shpuld manufacture refuse to pay. Don't know about Roo systems though.
The advantage of the Superchips map is you can return it to factory settings for the service (orafter gine failure?)

Except the mod to enable Superchip to map the ECU is traceable
