Try searching just on Knocklink. There's tons of stuff on here already and it's been asked so many times before.

Even standard cars are prone to some pre-detontation/knocking due to poor fuel. It's more of an insurance thing. if it shows nothing great, but you'd want to know if it does detect something.

Thumbs up

It's just a sensor that bolts to the engine block, and listens for, and warns the driver of, any knock/pinking/det(onation), so you can lift your right foot before it does any damage.

Don't know about un-remapped cars, but if you've done any mods to exhaust/air filter, it might be wise to have one.
