I wonder who that could've been

For as good as they are, I think that soldering a 1uF cap in parallel with the sensor signal wires and a 1 megaOhm resistor in series with the signal wire is very easy.
I believe the circuit changes the shape of the O2 sensor output. It's basically a low pass filter so a square wave input will come out as a rounded off triangle wave albeit lower amplitude and less peak-to-peak. This fools the computer to think the O2 is working correctly.
BTW, I've confirmed that lighting MIL does not enrichen the fuel/air ratio. The blinking MIL however is another story.

if you go to advance auto parts, the part number is HELP 42009, in case anyone else is interested.

I installed these on Friday night and my CEL is back on. I'm not sure of the code yet, but I don't think this will work for us unfortuantely. I'll try to get the code pulled and let you guys know though.

I've used this setup in the evo for about 6,000 miles now with no problems. I had to use two of them threaded together to get the sensor far enough out of the exhaust stream.

It isn't a square wave to start with. It is generated by the O2 sensor and looks like a sign wave. WT heck told you it was a square wave? It in no way looks like a triangle wave with the MIL eliminators on and so far it appears that it is the lower mean voltage and lower amplitude that tells the pcm it is "leaner".

You already have electronic MIL's you dope!
please explain..

Rawburt had electronic MIL's that plug in between the O2's installed on his car already
