Yeh Yeh mine did'nt knock either without a KS..... Until about 20k
was on the motor & the carbon started to build up on the pistons & it
was ping city. If someone says it doesn't ping in there car it will
one day, Just find a road with a cement barrier or a tunnel so the
sound bounces back to them when they are under load on a hot day.
Then they will hear it .
Unless you can get 95 & up octane ALL the time the KS is the only way
to go IMHO.
There is many different ways to go about retroing a KS into early
cars depending if you stick with your stock injection or change over
to the CIS-E injection. I used 83 GTI injection with a relay to run
the Full Throttle Switch. Great setup just not smog legal.
