Default Knock sensor too darn sensitive!

Somebody else must of had this trouble?!

Does anybody have a tried and tested relocation place, a little less sensitive?

why would you want it less sensitive?

if its for a knock link you can turn it down
if its for the standerd fit version then why is it to sensitive?

I have a seperate sensor for the knocklink. With the knocklink set on max and showing no det, sometimes the car will badly hicup under fierce acceleration at a mere 0.9 bar, using an AVC-R for boost control and a FCD to just trim the 0.2v required to prevent the fuel cut (0.93 bar). I guessed from what i read.......(silly me) on ravensblade that it was the standard knock sensor suspecting Det?!

If using the std ecu there is more than just boost that can cause this. The knock sensor will not cause it to hiccup, more likely plug problems.
