Where can I find a 3 OHM resister? I is going to replace my downpipe temp gauge. I just need to trick my computer into thinking things are good to go.

It's a "Blue" building on 10th and Bannock in Denver. They have lots of old and new electronics. Make sure you know how much current is passing throug to size the proper wattage.

I put the thing in on Sunday...Just went to radio shack a little more educated and got a 2.2ohm 1/2 watt resistor and pluged is straight into the temp sensor input...done and done

Great!!! I am planning on doing the same thing. The stock sensor harness was bad causing a -90* reading to the ECU at WOT. With all the engine cooling mods and new harness, it takes 20 minutes to read a normal temp from startup. I want the enging to be cool before I race this season with a constant ECU fuel adjustment map at 210*.

Or save up for a "stand-alone" !@#$ 1,200 for the good ones.
