Can someone shed some light on this? Looks like a 25 cent resistor chip that you can get at Radio Shack. How can they advertise this?

Sounds pretty shaddy to me. I wouldn't trust any listing like that on ebay.

"It is impossible to damage your engine by advance timing..."

What an idiot...all this thing does is tricks the ECU into thinking more air is entering the engine. So, to compensate and prevent running lean is just throws more fuel in there. Now you're running rich and the ECU hasn't a clue. Say bye bye to your O2 sensors and cats.
