    Im looking at getting a power commander but dont want to buy one new yet due to price but ive come accross a product made by two brothers called the juicebox pro. This is apparently the same sort of thing as a pc, does anyone have any experiance with these units?? Feedback would be much appreciated. Oh yeah it would be goin on a rr8 thanks

    The Bazzaz gets some good write ups from people who have them, and the guy who did my map for the PCV rates them highly.

    Yup Bazzaz seems to be the way forward, and you get traction control too

    Juicebox has a bad reputation. Originally intended for sale along with Two Bros pipes. It used to only add fuel, but I believe the newest version can also remove fuel.
    It's basically a cut down, simplified copy of a power commander and I just wouldn't bother with it.
    All IMO of course :)

    You do realise the TC module costs extra and is nothing to do with fuel mapping management? :)

    I went with the PC as there is more dynojet tuners near me
    making it easier to get a custom map done.

    I have the bazzaz and glad I went for it, there are different boxes you can buy that are cheaper than the all singing one I went for with TC etc...

    But another option I am hearing a lot of good things about is having the original ECU remapped as it seems many places can now change OE ECU. Worth looking into as it may be some dyno time and a remap with nothing else to buy

    only difference is the pcv is slightly smaller,
    uses a usb lead to connect to the computer
    so it doesnt need the 9v square battery.
    also supports more add ons like the hub,
    if you are not bothered with any of the above
    then get yourself a PC3 and save some cash.

    OK, let me type this in a different way...
    The Bazzaz unit which includes TC costs more than the one which does not (obviously).
    It is also a totally separate function to fuel management.
