you can also get it from your local quickie lube place, it is an M22 plug.
if you have a drill press and a tap then you can drill it and put a 1/8th NPT fitting in it for a boost reference
here is mine

This is a cheap mod to pull the Air Intake Heater (AIH) out of the intake plenum and cap it with a plug. The heater coil doesn't do much and it is seen as a restrictor for air entering into the engine.

Oh and what do you do with it now that you have it plugged? Just zip tie it somewhere or disconnect it?

The heater itself is on my workbench. The wires are disconnected per the instructions I posted from Dieselsite. The relay is still on top of the engine but not doing anything.

It is now your spare GPR, pre installed, just waiting for you to swap the wires when needed.
