You've probably seen them on Ebay for 28 bucks + shipping.  They are resistors in a plastic box that you wire up to your IAT sensor.  Supposedly they advance timing and air/fuel is adjusted.  Sold as custom for each make - Jeep, Chevy whatever. 

I read the feedback on some of the people selling these "boxes" and the reviews are mostly good at least in terms of shipping timliness :lol:  Nah, but it's the usual 2mpg mileage drop and I guess some performance improvement.  May or may not have to run high octane fuel.  Some question about whether the performance improvement lasts or whether the ECU returns to stock after a period of time.

(I know you can do the IAT mod where you relocate the sensor away from the intake/exhaust manifold and technically lower the termperature received at the sensor)  Think there was a post on this subject here before but I couldn't recall any search terms.

Think these IAT box things are called, White Lighting, Juice Box, etc.  No chips for the YJ 2.5s so thinking about it.

I still have not gotten a chance to get one of these yet but i plan on it.  Only real way to "Chip" a YJ that i know of.

Search for the thread on the IAT sensor.  It is relocatable.  As for the $0.5 resistor, I'd rather not pay $28 dollars for one.  You can usually get 100 packs for a few bucks.  I don't believe it will change timing though.  When it's colder the IAT will tell the engine to enrich the fuel mixture.
