    He's a real ass! Comes here as well to grab what he needs, doesn't offer any help back and badmouths us elsewhere...

    now you can see how i feel about giving away my work on both my nAst1 project in additon to my 7730TCM that's in-progress?

    it's inevitable. i just try and make it quite obvious where the information/work came from.

    It's not supposed to work that way and we have to stop thinking that way!

    I learn from everyone and I give away my knowledge and help everyone. Also give credit where credit is do! If I ever miss please correct me, I hate guilt!

    What we need to do is attact people like this from all angles to expose them and let ebay know this is stolen tech and a faulty product!

    He is still constantly contacted people over at Thirgen through PM to sell his product.

    Really a shame that one dickhead can just come out of no where, not contribute a thing and then profit with a faulty product!

    Utilityguy (also known as valleytek on eBay) has just earned an award for the first person to ever be banned from GearHead-EFI.com

    It is a real shame to steal off ideas and profit and not give back to a community of guys with the same interests. Will be sharing some of my work in the near future here.

    I hope so!

    You know the more you share and work with people it comes back as karma. If you make a few bucks? Oh well! I've never tried and because of helping others people will contact you and offer to pay for your services.

    I don't think anyone is against making a buck. But the real point here is what he made is wrong! and...

    He was never part of the community! Just a leech!

    He's never even made a post here. Last time I banned him for this same reason he was all full of BS about how he would become part of the help and not just a leech. SO I let him back and still never a post. All he wanted was our files!

    Well I need some expert opinion on this.
    eBay Auction for V8 TPI Memcal

    This auction says:
    KNOCK SENSOR = Disabled * The knock filter circuitry can be enabled if desired and used with a stock 3.9K ohm 350 knock Sensor.

    But the memcal has a jumper?

    So would the knock sensor work correctly? What about limp home chip?
