Hi. how well does the extender chip fromm full throttle perform? what does it ad/ change? it deletes the factory 128 mph shutoff and does it add power?
Good question. I checked the W.W.W. and this is the difference between real and false. Should be a simple thing to program in the chip.False knock ignore: Prevents false knock from affecting performance....
That's interesting. I wonder how it determines false knock vs. the real thing?

I have a 3.5" MAF and a basic translator. I like to do my own "tuning", and my car is a 99% street car. Would it be worth looking into an extender chip, or is my classic TT street chip adaquate?

"False knock is characterized by a sharp spike to an immediately high value of KR followed instantly by the KR Recovery Rate. It doesn't grow with engine RPM or load, it jumps to a high value on throttle input and then recovers to a low value, or zero perhaps, as engine RPM continues to increase. Note that this is exactly opposite to the characterization of REAL KR. Remember, knock is simply specific noise detected by engine microphones. Because it happens to fall with in the frequency of real KR does not necessarily mean that it IS real KR."
You can make adjustments with the Scanmaster.... Although, having a powerlogger makes it much easier, as you can make changes directly on the PL screen (NOT DS).
manual for the chip or the PL?
