I would be interested to know what chips you have tried?
I have used ecu chips in Auckland and superchips nz both gave very good results

Have tried dp adjustable chip and think the other 1 was a tdc chip, truck struggles to do over 100km and has no torque

A couple of weekends ago I worked on a mates 2005 RA Rodeo with 4JH1 that was also sluggish. He had fitted a chip but was not seeing a huge improvement.
It had a broken bolt in the exhaust manifold for the EGR so drilled that out and put two studs in instead and placed a blanking plate at the EGR as well.(later had to drill a 5mm hole in it due to check engine light coming on) Reset the valve rocker clearances as they were tight. Found the viscous fan hub was faulty so removed it until the new one comes in ( this was causing a huge lag on the engine). We carried out an engine oil flush with CEM products and did an oil & filter change.
He said it showed a much better response on the trip home. Quite often just fitting a chip is not going to make that much of a difference due to other things requiring attention first.

im a mechanic haven't just fitted chip, have removed cat, fitted big exhaust, removed egr, tried 3 different airflow meters, swapped injectors, has had good service history, it doesn't smoke at all needs more fuel, have another ra rodeo 2wd with a modified vp44 pump and no chip and it hauls

Hi there
Im new on here so far on my 05 RA rodeo I have fitted full 3 inch exhaust EGR blocked off service up to date and its going well, I am however looking to boost low rpm power or just across the whole rpm range as mine is sluggish off idle quite notably so.
solace 108 which chip would you suggest as you had success with two different chips.
Im open to any other mods being suggested I feel as though something is holding these engines back as Ive just come out of a 1kzte Prado and that had better low rpm power Im fairly certain there is potential lurking in this engine.

Sorry for late reply, the issue is he injector pumps dont deliver enough fuel, the truck that was low on power I just fitted a new injector pump with different programming in the top of the ecu making it 110hp use to be able to get 120hp but that programme was deleted, truck goes much better but still lacks fuel, I have a 4jh1 with a 12mm manual pump on it and it goes amazing better than 3.2 rangers and 1kd hiluxes, if you want power only way is manual pump it
