Default Knock link - flashes??? Help

I have a bugeye with a full decat, green panal filter. Fitted a knock link a while back and only when I was giving some beans that I saw a grean flash on the 1st blub now what seems to be happening after a couple of months is the 1st green blub seems to be flickering more often than not!

If i was to put in a uprated 255 fuel pump would this help as I will be going for a remap later on with an STi 8 turbo?

I have 75k on the clock of the WRX.

Thanks
S!

Greens are fine mate, just background noise which rises in proportion to engine output.

Ambers need investigating and Red means lift off this insant before your engine does!!!

Save the fuel pump till just before/when you get the turbo upgrade and remap.

Mine flickers the first green a little on odd occasions when not giving it full throttle. Only really noticed it since I had a full de-cat so must be picking up a bit of extra background noise from somewhere.

On full boost it lights the first green and flickers the second as it nears the the shift point. That's normal though. It's when it suddenly jumps to the ambers or red that you need to worry (i.e. lift off).
