eBay Knock Gauge/Monitor

[anothernord]

What do you all think about this:

It's basically a knock monitor that shows when the engine is knocking. Anyone had experience with this, or know if it would work with our (Bosch) knock sensors?

Cheap knock off of the Knock-Link system..

There is nothing wrong with using one of these units however its all down to how sensitive your knock sensor is and how the led unit interprets the signal.

EJ20 pinouts.

Looks like most of the products require an additional knock sensor, since I have not done this I couldn't tell you if it will work with the Bosch unit.. But when you look at the sensors there should be no reason why you cant tap into the harness to gain control like the EJ20 pinouts describe.
