PlugNGO & DPCHIP Package (Suitable for Toyota Prado 120 series 3.0L 4cyl CRD 1KD-FTV D4-D)
What is DPCHIP:
DPChip is an interactive computer which exploits the full potential of modern EFI diesel engines. Individual programming and re-mapping of the engine management system enables this simple to fit device to increase power by up to 25% and torque by up to 35%. DPChip alters fuel, timing and air characteristics to create smooth power gains
Inside the DPCHIP:
DPCHIP is protected by a Heavy Duty Vibration and Water Resistant ABS plastic molded housing. The control board Utilized compact surface mounted processor technology. The DPCHIP utilizes Dual processors (model depending) that control multiple channels digitally. All connection pins are Gold plated. We are so confident in the reliability of DPCHIP that we offer a class beating 6 year product warranty.
Installation:
Depending on the application more than 90% of DPCHIPs sold are simple Plug & Play using OEM plugs to connect safely to your vehicles existing wiring. These systems generally take under 20 minutes to install. Some older model Diesels may require a wire-in harness to be installed. These systems may take an hour to install.
How does DPCHIP Tune?
Each DPCHIP tunes with digital accuracy adding additional information to your engines original signals. The DPCHIP works with the vehicles computer to further fine tune the fuel and timing of the engine for more Power and torque. This increased power band can lead to safer driving and potentially better economy.
Result:
The result will vary from vehicle to vehicle but the main ‘seat of the pants’ difference will be a wider Power Band resulting in slightly lighter throttle needed. To find some example, please see the dyno page
Warranty:
60 Day Money Back ‘No Questions’ Money Back Guarantee
6 Year DPCHIP Product Warranty
Factory Backed Engine and Driveline Warranty for the duration of the vehicles existing Factory Warranty.

Some information to consider when further modifying your EFI Diesel.
Snorkel:- Whilst a snorkel is "said" to have air flow benefits, these benefits are generally 'plausible'. The Electronic engine management system on the engine will make minute adjustments "if" airflow is to change. So on modern EFI controlled Diesels its best to consider a snorkel more for crossing deep water than for the 'possible' air flow benefits.
DPCHIP adjustment needed- DPCHIP would not need adjusting.

Exhaust upgrade:- The benefits of an exhaust upgrade vary dramatically between vehicle models. Generally speaking though, less exhaust gas back pressure allows more exhaust gas flow, particularly at higher engine RPM. A larger exhaust will generally mean the turbo spins up a little quicker and, vehicle dependant, the turbo boost may even peak a few PSI higher than normal.
DPCHIP adjustment needed- Not a necessity but one could adjust the DPCHIP up 1 point to make benefit from this changed exhaust gas flow.
Note about exhaust upgrades:- When upgrading an exhaust system be sure to install a catalytic Converter if the original exhaust system included one. To leave this integral component out of the new system may lead to turbo boost fault codes. ALL our exhaust systems come with catalytic Converter where applicable.
What is PlugNGO?
PlugNGO alters the acceleration curve on electronic throttle controlled vehicles. It digitally alters the shape of the curve increasing throttle response and improving your overall driving experience.
PlugNGO improves acceleration times whilst overtaking and during hill starts. It’s safe and easy to use, just plug and go!
PlugNGO will not change your engine tuning or power and torque, for that you would need a DPCHIP. It simply changes the throttle curve, like a sport button on most modern cars, it will make the throttle more sensitive giving the sensation of better acceleration but it is not altering any of the actual engine power or fuel settings.
PlugNGO is installed between a car’s accelerator pedal and control module. It captures the accelerator pedal signal and transforms it, lessening the pedal travel required in order to achieve full throttle response.
4 Modes to help you stay in control.
6 Curve adjustments in each mode.
Increase the curve through 3 levels and reduce it through 3 levels.
- Off
Turn off PlugNGO to maintain your safety when driving on slippery surfaces
- Sport +
Helps you accelerate when merging with road traffic or whilst overtaking.
- Sport
Increases throttle response by up to 16%, suitable for most situations.
- Eco/Off Road
Smoother response in lower rpm range with the response programmed to make fuel consumption more economical.
Smoother throttle control for off road driving.
