A well seasoned tuner/mapper shouldn't rely on the OEM knock sensor. Some of the harmonics of the engine, the OEM can mis-interpret as knock.
In ones humble opinion, the widebands and gauge is a good visual aid for those who haven't heard knock or pinking. Particularly when running forced induction.

Well.. Belt back on but i stopped at trying to put all the bolts in and idler pulley . They are all little bastads who nip my fingers and stuff
It all seems to line up perfectly. The bearings in the pulleys all nice but i did notice the charger pulley is stiffer than i expected (having never played with one before) though it feels fine
She'll be back together this weekend with the wideband wired to the ECU and a gauge for my sanity

well that's not a good start! I'm sure all will be fine once its had a good tune.
I'm also interested in what you do with that gauge. I've got one too but i'm not sure i'm going to use it or not. I may have the wide band wired into the ECU but not have a visual gauge..... not sure yet.

haha, it's all good. I don't mind tinkering with it.
the only issue with just inputting to the ECU is what happens if there's an issue i guess. I'm no expert at all but the advantage of the gauge is it highlights if there's a problem (rich or lean). I need that visual indicator given my fragile state of mind

she lives!
I just need to run a cable into the AEM from the AFR gauge/sensor and then set that up (this is all new to me)
I cannot see an issue with the belt, following the instructions from TTS the tensioner is in a different position to where it was but that belt was old and may have been a different length too, tension seems similar by a scientific grab and twist test
I have noticed it does get hot under the hood. maybe I need some more gauges
the alloys are not in great shape and the brakes are dodgy too, these are next steps

tah Win, better pic
its rough round the edges but a nice little project for me. vented bonnet could be an idea
