I'll figure something out. Gotta also install the injectors, remove the BEGi FMU, change the oil, flush the radiator, install the AIT sensor bung, devise a new intake, rework my hot side charge pipes to clear the a/c pulley better, do the 1.8 brake swap, ship parts from the other car, work, eat, sleep, drink, etc etc etc...

So Ben, where are you planning on mounting the knock sensor? or have you already and care to share a pic?
I just ordered my Knocksense from the link you provided as well as the MOSFET to do the EBC mod.

I recommend mounting the knock sensor near or at the FM stock location at the motor mount boss. Most recommendations are below crank centerline and away from the font of the engine (pulleys/bearing noise). I've hand mine mounted in four different locations and the noise was definitely worst at the front and top part of the engine. It's now in a motor mount boss and provides good feedback.

Day 2
Day 2
Today I removed the fuel band aid (BEGi FMU), installed 440 cc/min RC Eng injectors, and removed the AFM.
AFM removal is as easy as described in the instructions.
step 1: remove AFM
step 2: install AIT bung/sensor near throttle body or in intake mani
step 3: run 2 wires to the AFM harness
step 4: open megatune, select "no afm"
step 5: turn key and drive
The car runs better today than it did yesterday. And I didn't have Jerry to help me today!

I'm not tuned at all. Just lowered req fuel and drove off. Car drives fine, not perfect, but certainly well enough, especially considering it is completely untuned.
Full tuning on load dyno is coming.

I take that back. I assume that the CLT is just 0-5v, w voltage increasing with knock. I'll use it to trigger a relay and power the MIL wire at the ECU. That will light the CEL w/ knock events, just like the Hydra.

mmmm....I'll read up on it some more, but from the KnocksenseMS instructions, it says wire it into the MS CLT so when datalogging events the CLT will make a sharp downward spike...but when I look at MLV there is a datapoint for knock, so just pin 5 out should suffice
....however, I already have an LED on my steering column from a previous "alarm" when we picked up the car....so I'll wire that LED so it'll flash when knock is detected, without anything special needed in my part.
