Mines an SR so I don't have a readout, just do it the old fashioned way by calculating it at the pump with kms traveled since last fill.

If I can get a tad more than my old chipit chip, without having the injectors getting loud like they did, then I'll be very happy!

Got mine done at Just Autos this morning. End up with about a 50% gain all up.

Started with lower power than most do, but got roughly the same amount of gains. I put this down to mine being an 05 model with about 220k on the clock.

Either way I'm pretty chuffed, it drives very nice and whilst it's no rocket ship it has become a comfortable drive with no need to thrash it to get going.

I never did a dyno run with the chipit, but the HKS feels like it has the edge in power/torque from the seat of my pants feel.
The biggest plus though is that the HKS delivers the power far more smoothly and without belching black smoke like the chipit did

That is an awesome outcome for you, Definitely leaning toward this option. Only thing holding me back is not knowing how much longer I'm going to hold on to my rig.

With a much newer Hilux I've seen others get between 175 to 190rwhp. Plus the beauty of the HKS is that you could take the module with you to your next car

DO IT :)
