I'd be careful with that shyt. Now you're messing with computer signals and the wrong one and things go bye bye. Besides look at the pic. It's a resistor stuck in the MAF sensor plug...I know everyone is looking for the quick cheap way to make a few ponies but quite frankly the ECU needs to get a varried input on the MAF. Making the MAF stay at 1 constant setting will definately damage internal components. Mostly because the ECU will not be compensting for increased or decreased airflow to the engine. Thus you'll be running either lean or rich and both conditions are BAD things.
