Ok i think i have sucessfully installed it, but one green light goes on all the time even when the engine is off so what's going on? It doesn't light up any more when going along, but when i tap at the sensor it the lights go up. If the sensor was gone will it still light up if i tapped it? HELP!

my bottom one lights up nearly all the time.. Drive the car and take it up to the limiter and you should at least get some activity..

Have you got the power wired to a switched live? sounds like your power is on all the time.

Turn your boost up to 20psi, that will light it up
When i used the oe. Knock sensor i only had one green flashing and that rarely lit up... fitted the Bosch replacement sensor and now i can see what is actually happeneing
