Whats wrong with your standard sensor?

Standard one is attached to the block under the manifold on the passenger side. So somewhere near there would be a good idea.

anywhere central on the block,
some cars have two knock sensors, one at the main bearing end- the other at the big-end.

I just got a SubDataScan for my Legacy. It can give me a reading off the stock sensor as well as almost every other sensor on the engine the the ECU sees. So far at WOT, Im not getting any more than 3 degrees of knock correction.

Does that sound good or normal?

More info on the SubDataScan: http://members.optusnet.com.au/impakt01/sds/

Its okay. I just found that the figure goes both ways on my knock sensor read out. + and -.

So far Im getting +3 degrees of ignition advance. So until my readings get into the negative. Im not having any problems.

Good product for anyone whos interested. Its made by a member of RSLC and apparently will plug into any WRX up to 96 IIRC.

nothing is wrong.. just wanna install another knock sensor to see if there is any knock... just wanna make sure that nothing is wrong. as i have fitted a air filter, tbe and more to come...

anyway.. i think it will be a gd gauge for me if i were to send my car for tuning.
