You guys know what I'm doing with my engine (fully-built boosted KA).

Dumb question is, my current KS is cracked - Do I need a new one? Or will my engine management supercede the need for such a primitive device?

Inquiring minds wanna know...

Don't know if this helps. I spoke with jwt last week about my knock sensor coding and they said the timing retard function for the knock sensor was turned off.
