What Should I Do????

I just got my helix up/ down pipe. I am going to instal them my self and i was wandering about the cel fixes. I dont like the idea of cutting into wires at all. Is there anyother way to fix this problem without cutting wires or drilling holes? or should i just plug the sensors into the bung on the new up/down pipes. PLEASE HELP ME. Thanks everyone...

From what Ive read here you dont want to install egt sensor into upipe because It may break off and kill your turbo. I dont know for sure but I would think the resistor trick could be done without haveing to cut the wires (not sure though).

You can use the resistor to get rid of the uppipe CEL.

Do you have to cut wires to do the resistor (I would think not)?

You can search for the mechanical fix for the dp on here. It works really well and you don't have to cut anything or mess with resistors. I have heard that for the uppipe you need to use some kind of grease in the plug with the resistor, someheatshrink, or tape and a wire tie. If you do searches here or on nasioc you will find may fixes. Good luck.
