Does anybody know anything about this product? It seems like an obvious scam. I don't understand what this product even does besides advertising more horses.

I disagree.

When a seller has over five THOUSAND individual customers offering positive feedback......I'm inclined to believe the claim.
If it fit my model, I would spend the $25 to find out for myself.

Just my $0.02

Proof?

Same product?

And apparantly he isn't one of the 5,000 people that did not have a problem with their purchase.
I'd be more than happy to publicly apologize to you.

....The moment you prove me wrong.


p.s. In your sig....incompitant is spelled incompetent. Isn't irony great?

I dont know man... It's pretty old news that all they use is a resistor or some kind of diode that is either spliced into the ects or the maf to trick the ecu into running a little more rich, which can give you a little more ooomph-but its not good for your engine to run like that all the time. It just tricks your ecu into thinking it is not up to normal operating temps by restricting the signal the ects or maf puts out which =running rich. This is not good to do when the enigine is actually at normal op. temp. Not good for your cat especially. While it may add a little power, it's a scam because it's adding power in the wrong way and the way they advertise how it works is technicaly untrue. Its the same type of scam and advertising tactics as ***** enlargement pills. Of course they are proven not to work by actual doctors, yet the companies have such a high customer satisfaction rating. Plus, I have seen such "modules" in person, and you know its a scam when the label that is on the module with the product name is printed out on a bubble ink jet printer and rubber cemented on. Im sure they spent more time designing their advertisement on that website with all the fancy colors and fonts than the actual time they put into the R&D and assembly of this product.

well when you think about it they did come up with a clever name. "The Juice Box" is unique and sets itself apart from their competition. I mean it says right in their post don't be fooled by immitators. I mean who could immitate "The Juice Box"? I'll tell you who... no one. If I had a 2.8 I would buy one.

psyche! I would never put a performance chip named "the juice box" anywhere near my car. anyone who is thinking about buying this should send me their $25 and I'll slap them in their face and call it a day.
