baboonia Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 A seller on Ebay is selling a "chip" called "The Juice Box" for $28 that supposedly gives you more horsepower etc. They appear to make them for all kinds of cars, but they appear to look the same. Has anyone bought one? It looks like a scam to me since it appears to have only 2 wires and does not hook up to the ECU directly, just to the air temp sensor or water temp sensor...something fishy here?? see http://stores.ebay.com/The-Juice-Box-Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon38iowa Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think the show Mythbusters just did an episode on just these devices.The verdict? Not worth a plug nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstwagon Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I was reading through all the "positive comments". It must have took them and their friends quite a while to type all the B.S. compliments. Crap like that tries to trick the sensors to make the engine put out more power. It has little or no effect despite what all the "thrilled customers" say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 IF it actually does ANYTHING, it probably alters the MAF sensor readings to trick the computer, which is a band-aid solution at best that usually causes more problems than it's worth.
