Im understanding this won't work on any 944 that did have your chip first / also?
I would also think the value of it would go up if you have a knock meter in there.

You are correct. You must be using our software (on the chip/board)!

We will look into the knock display...

With the time everyone spends chasing bugs, this tool will save the day.. This is the main purpose!

schweet. I guess i'll be adding this to my current Vitesse wish list. I still need wasted spark from you and didn't you make a boost controlller?

Also is there a boost sensor I can buy to log my boost with the SMT-6?

There is so much that can be done with the Motronic, I just love it when people say it's an old system.. There are so many fun and productive things to follow

John, I am doing well, recovering nicely from an unplanned knee surgery Yeah it would be real nice to capture all this data at once instead of doing individual pinouts with a fluke. I second the notion of a knock counter, just for sh!tz and giggles. maybe incorporate into a packge with your vflex too. Thanks for the support on Johns car, it was greatly appreciated.

You already have the MAP sensor. You can log boost now! When you recover from your trip, we can go over what you already have .

Your wish list will grow, lots of new things coming down the pipe.

Take care of your knee and let it recover, it'll pay off in the long run... It was a pleasure working with you on John's car.

Awesome. I really want to be able to log my boost pressure. I think my gauge moves slightly between 16-17psi. I want to know exactly what im pushing. I need to get that connector plug. I'll call ya soon. Thanks for everything John your support and products are top notch.

would this work for N/A's too? How much logging would this include, and would it also accept/log external inputs?
