No, you don't need an "ECU Resistor", what you require is a spacer for the o2 sensor that you fit to the de-cat.
It's called a "CEL FIX", search Google or and you should find what your after.

It's possible that you will loose power when you de-cat as the fuel map hasn't been optimised for the new conditions. A remap would sort this out...
Just make sure you re-fit the cat when it's time for your MOT otherwise your looking at a fail.
