02 SR5 1KZ-TE, dual cab with a few mods!

[qld hilux]

Hey guys,
haven't been on here for a while but about 18 months ago I bought this dual cab fairly stock but done a few things to it since.
Some of the things include:
mandrel bent turbo back exhaust
Chip It chip
WAIC
boost controller running 12.5PSI under full boost
15x8 AME baja wheels
32" BFG A/T's
2' lift (the ultimate suspension shocks, modified ironman comfort leafs, 1" ball joint spacer)
TJM snorkel
custom rockslider/side steps
stereo
oil catch can
and more that I cant think of right now
I forgot how to resize the photos, but if you click on them you'll see the full picture.

Your rig looks very tidy! Loving the mods you've done to it too. What type of engine is under the hood?

Cheers mate! It's a 1KZ-TE factory 3.0 turbo diesel.

They are a nice model.
The only thing with the 1KZs is that Chinese made cylinder head, they are crap.
The AMC cylinder heads are the go, made in Spain, out of pure Aluminium ingot.
Outside of that, they are an excellent little diesel engine.

Out of the chip, ic and exhaust which made the most increase in power?

Yeah, I heard about the heads. Hopefully with the intercooler it will have less chance of cracking because it keeps the temps down.
Thanks MLTZER
The chip made the biggest difference was the chip, its set on two. I think 7 or 8 is the highest but would be way too high anyway. I found it needed an extra 2PSI cause it would blow a fair bit of smoke under load.
