Anyone install a performance Chip on their Wrangler
« on: August 07, 2009, 11:11:25 AM »
I have a '99 TJ with the 2.5L 4 cylinder motor.  We are in the process of installing the 4.0 Throttle body, K/N Cold Air Intake with the TB Spacer. I have read a bit about these mods and also boring out the Intake manifold TB opening. 

My question is: Has anyone installed a performance chip on their Jeep?  Which one did you use?  I saw this chip on ebay: JAWdropper Triple-A Twin stage Performance Fuel Optimization module.  It makes wild claims.  Does anyone have experience with this chip?

Thanks

you might want to post a link to that as i could not find it.

EDIT: Nevermind, i found it - don't even think about it, just another ebay scam like the electric turbos. it's hooked onto the air intake temp sensor, ridiculous - you can buy a $2 pot and get the same results.

This just gave me an idea.  Run a hose from the air conditioning vent inside the Jeep to the throttle body for super cold air intake!  I don't have air conditioning but someone who does ought to try it.     :whistle:

Not with that brand but with Jet Chip.  If you have several mods then it is worth it but if its stock don't waste your money, yet.  I've got a stage I and would like a stage II.
