    DP chip worth the $$$$ ???

    Hi All,

    Thinking of putting the DP chip into my TD5 ...anyone had experiences good or bad with these little black boxes ??

    Apologies if this has been discussed before..could not find any threads when i searched..

    It's a 99 Disco TD5 Auto ..any other ECU reprogramming or chips available which might work out a bit cheaper ?

    cheers...

    I have a Tunit, which is what the DPchip used to be called before the Australian distributors and the English distributors had a falling out.

    I picked mine up second hand for around $800..I think it retails for $1200-1400 normally. It works a treat..upping the power from 101kw to about 136kw. Torque goes up about the same as well. This is handy for me as I run larger 32" tyres and have manual. The tunit is adjustable with about 6 different power settings...this is handy depending on what tyre I have on (or if your towing).

    There are plenty of other options for replacement ECUs or flashing the ECU. These do pretty much the same as the DPchip but cannot be adjusted or changed. They are also much cheaper...around $800-900.

    If you were to ask me I would just say go for the flash chip. The DPchip is just too expensive. It does work well however!

    Cheers
