    150 ohm resistor on the fuel temp sensor plug, DO NOT plug the sensor back in, the resistor replaces the sensor. Don't play with the boost sensor, all that does is make tons of smoke and soot up your oil.

    150 ohm 1/2 watt resistor fools the ecm into thinking the fuel temp is 167 deg. gains are noticable at first them diminish as fuel heats up in tank through the day. but worth doing.
