[QUOTE="SID297, post: 16595093, member: 8858"] Just because they aren't focusing on all tuning now doesn't mean they won't in the future. Take a look at this claim from a recent EPA Complaint ([b]emphasis added[/b]): [indent][i]46. The EZ Lynk System patent application expressly provides that the invention is capable of reprogramming “[b]settings used to tune the engine for efficiency or performance, including settings for ignition timing advance, spark timing, fuel injection, electronic throttle control, poppet valve timing, [and] boost control[/b].” Changes to any of these manufacturer settings can impact engine emissions controls. In addition, the patent application contains two figures demonstrating that the device is capable of modifying the “Pilot Injection” and the “Smoke Limitation,” both of which can also impact emissions controls. [b]These various settings, including the Pilot Injection and the Smoke Limitation, are all Emission-Related Elements of Design.[/b][/i][/indent] According to this, rotating the distributor cap on a 95 Cobra could be a violation of the CAA. Also, IMO (admittedly no first hand knowledge here) Lund probably got popped because they were a huge seller of n-Gauge. The manufacturer of the n-Gauge also produced the Dash DAQ which was a favorite of diesel tuners not so long ago. The EPA likes to follow paper trails, and there's a very clear one running from the manufacturer of the n-Gauge (who had an EPA visit) to Lund. It will probably continue to run downhill to Lund's dealers. [/QUOTE]
