I know there has been a lot of discussion about the JWT Popcharger, but I can't find any answers in the search. Is it worth spending 180 dollars for it, and does it negatively affect the car in any way?

What happened to your CAI, YJ?

You can purchase the pop charger for a lot less than $180. Are you talking about the Stillen intake? That's around $180.

Pop

However much it cost me, who cares, I am worried it will not go well with the car, have you had any problems? Service Engine Lights, anything. Thanks.

I had the Stillen intake on for a while and didn't run into any problems, but others have. Just make sure you install the intake correctly (i.e. make sure everything's tight, all the hoses/sensors are connected, etc).

So far, so good. I've only had my Stillen Intake on for a couple of days and I haven't run into a problem so far. On the other hand, I had my mechanic install the intake because I didn't want to take a chance on f***ing anything up. And if something does go wrong, I've got someplace to go to for service besides Nissan.

Kev got rid of it cause I was scared of the water hazards.

Pop charger is fine with me.

I wish I had another 2k with pop charger to compare the installation to.
Cuase I don't have all 4 of the screws in.
One part broke off and only 3 are holding it secure.
oh well

I've got a pop charger too. Not a single problem. I'm running three bolts too, just like YJ.

That bolt alone is good for .3 sec on the quarter mile.

one of the plastic piece broke off while i was trying to yank it out of the throttle body. i was like "<b>WTF!!</b>
but after i tightened the rest of 3 bolts, it was all good...no movements and no anything.
