20HP Timing Advance Kit - eBay (WARNING)
Folks, it has been brought to our attention that an individual on eBay is selling a "Timing Advance Kit"
with claims of a 20HP gain on the Dodge, GM, and Ford engines. This is a scam and is not worth the
money spent as it is a simple resistor which costs no more than 50 cents at your local radio shack. It uses
the same trick as the old-fashioned "resistor trick" as described on the IAT Adjuster page. Buyers Beware!
This is the "20HP Timing Kit"
(The resistor trick uses various 1/4 or 1/2 watt resistors to fool the PCM into thinking the air is cooler than
it really is. While this does work, the gains are no more than 6-8RWHP with some cases being only
10RWHP at most. It is weather specific, no same resistor value works for all vehicles, and is primarily
used at the track only.)
The seller also uses many different aliases (names) on eBay so watch out as the ads are very similar in
format and language. Seller goes by the following names: rumpshaker, chad302, wholesalerezellers,

EGR Bypass Kit - eBay (WARNING)
The same individual who is selling the "Timing Kit" on eBay is also selling a "EGR Bypass Kit". He/she
claims that this works on '96+ Dodge models as well which is 100% FALSE. Dodge has NOT used an
EGR valve on the Magnum engines since 1995. Plus, bypassing the EGR can possibly cause other
problems with the "Check Engine Light" coming on.
Here is a quote from the seller:
"yes it will work and no your engine light will stay off. thanx"

Will this work on my '97 Dakota and will it trip the check engine light after blocking the EGR?

Don't be fooled by this sellers claims...there is NO EGR Valve on the '96+ engines. The seller also uses
many different aliases (names) on eBay so watch out as the ads are very similar in format and language.
