you have 2.4, right?

So did you splice off the factory knock sensor or did you install another/

best $ i spent on the car

and you can tune it so it only comes on with knock ...tho I like it setup like that as there is almost always inaudible knock that there is NO way for YOU to hear and the knock sensor hears this ... If I run race gas the light stays OFF ... so i know i am getting slight knock on pump gas

nope, it is bad, over time it will and can kill things but most of these engines are over built to the point where a little light knock will not be the end of the world, but you are much better off to have none, I run 14psi on pump gas w/ the stock EZK box and get very very very little ping these days so

740s dashes are so much better...

Im definitely going to get one of these kits, Even more intrigued that I don't have to do any cutting and soldering. Going to try and cut back on that in the engine bay for a little while..

TD04HL CHRA and hot side w/ a super60 compressor wheel in a 15g compressor housing

small turbo, peaks around 490cfm or so map wise

tho all of that means nothing as the setup as a whole is what matters, 984 LH 2.4 ECU w/ freds chip, 65lb injectors, 31x12x4 intercooler, V16 cam, 531, and a trans that hates me
