how-to... http://www.pgmfi.org/twiki/bin...anual
It's not difficult, 10 minutes if you can solder really well. No chipping required.

the smaller the better for ease of install, keep in mind that OEM uses surface mount, which is far less than the crap you buy from radioshack.

the smaller the wattage the smaller the case of the resistor, the smaller the case the easier it is to mount to the surface mount location of the JDM P30.

keep in mind that the stock ECU uses parts that are maybe 1/16 watt at best.

easy answer.... the standard 1/4 watt 1.4k ohm resistor works fine. anything larger makes it a pain to get it in the case of the ECU without touching anything else.
