knock sensor results

hey i was wondering what you noticed after changing your knock sensor in terms of mpg's and power

i just changed mine and my car seems like its a lot more powerful

is it just the placebo effect or is this what really happens?

thanks

OMG No way!! I gotta go try this..

(No it's not the placebo effect, a bad knock sensor will cause a severe loss in power and mpg).

KS > Placebo effect.

30-40 Whp .. You might feel that ..

Be glad you did it.

It is probably the most cost effective way to gain power... I felt like a because I wasted nearly 2 years of my A32 life with much much less power.

Maxima's come from the factory with the ks disabled. Enabling it is the equivilant of adding 10lbs of boost.
