it looks like exactly the same sensor that comes with the LINK ECU, I've never had any probs with it..

how difficult are the to fit?

my plan is to set up a knock sensor, Bar & Plate IC, a walbro 190, some new discs for the vortec and 1.8 injectors. Should be good for 8 psi, dont want to look at clutches or diffs.

theres a bolt (or a threaded bolt hole, can't remember, will get a pic later) on the side of the block near the oil filter. You just screw it in there.. 2 min job.
