hey guys, im after a lil bit of help, im definatley going to turbo my N/a VL, so heres the deal, i have found that mine is Series II, so oil feed, oil return, water feed and water return are all bunged, so thats easy.... after a week of research i have located where the knock sensor goes, above the middle welsh plug that sits above the oil filter... so this evening i found an interesting looking harness, it has 2 pins, and is taped up to the main harness, it is located in the same position as this knock sensor would appear on a turbo, so all im asking, with the help of the following picture..... could this be the plug for it ??
cheers

No, the knock sensor harness is a single wire with a white, round cup that seals over the end of the sensor. N/a's don't have the wire but it's only 1 wire so easy to put in.
What colors are the wires on that plug, i'll tell u what it is.
But then if u're going turbo, fit an aftermarket ecu and be done with it.
that sounds like to me the connection for a oil pressure gauge. plug as the one in the sl/exec are single cable. i assume that the berlina/calais pressure gauge uses 2 cables, which look suprissingly like the cables i used to hook up my oil pressure gauge.
mine has a sender with a single wire so i wont need to worry about that harness, oh and one more thing is the knock sensor pin # 22 on the VLT ECU?? thanks guys

iVe done 3 n/a to turbo conversions at work. havent used a knock sensor on any of them. all cars still running strong. 1 running a to4 with plenum and tricked up n/a ecu on 10 psi its been going for a year. Off the subject a bit, my own car was running a to4e with plenum stock turbo injectors, ecu, and bottom end, with stock na pumps and a malpassi fuel reg. It made 224 on 11.8 psi. it lasted 8 months till i put the boost up to 14 psi. with out a knock sensor. not trying to start a arguement, just an opinion.
does the car feel doughy down low, and needs a good push of ur right foot to get going. Mine did before i put in the knock sensor, although it could have been the restrictive exhaust.
