<-- runs a turbo charged engine without one single knock sensor
But I am standalone and so are the three other folks that I know that do not run a knock sensor, all of whom know EXACTLY what they're doing!

ok so mine is throwing the knock sensor code to... but it says its not getting a signal from the sensors.. could this also effect proformance?

 

[Jeff Lange]

Yes!

When the code is thrown, the engine is in "limptastic" mode.

Could you possibly post a pic of the rewiring process...Im also in the porcess of doing this as I sont know weather i have to repin it str8 to the ecu or i can cut it somewhere and run from a certain location?...If i cut i know that there will be external interference,,
