[s-cars] Anyone familiar with this e-bay seller?

[Bjørn Ødegård]

Okay! Actually, I realized that when I saw the other things he had for
sale! Kurbin should just have Audi parts..
Hehe.. Nice 'generic' answers is always working!
Btw, is there an easy way to get an A/F-value out of the ECU? Or is it
just used as an internal value?

Bjorn :o)

No, he isn't Robert or whomever he may be, he's a very reputable Ebay
seller but who also happens to sell chips while he has no idea what'
inside
them.
