My question is if I have light mods as Stage 1, a kinetic wastegate, Boost controller set to 18-19lbs, and an intake. Is it really necessary to check my Knock/AF ratio??? I don't have anything to monitor this stuff, so I really don't have time to go to get it to a performance shop to check all that stuff, So with all this light mods do you think I should be ok with out actually checking or is it a big deal and I should definitely find a way to go n get this checked out??? Thanks for any help.
MOTHER OF GOD.
tell whoever needs this question answered to sell the aftermarket parts, then sell the car, and buy a hybrid.
YES YOU NEED TO MONITOR THAT.

Here's what I don't understand. Why? Why do you have to monitor that (for small modifications)? Might as well go back to carburetors then. I thought EFI was the best thing since sliced bread because it auto adapts (to elevation, temperature, etc.).
If you have a scan gauge, you know the PCM gets a shitload of info from various source/sensors all over the car, including AFR. So why can't it see "shit, I'm running a bit lean, let's pump some more fuel" instead of bluntly ignoring what the sensors are screaming at it?
Unless the restriction is at the physical level (fuel pump, rail, injectors, etc). Then it makes sense. Otherwise, you would think the PCM should be able to do that kind of small rectifications.

It was a simple question either yes or no, don't need to be a fucking douche!! I know u have to check the fuel mods for a big turbo car, I just wasn't sure u had to it for car with such small mods!!

It corrects at part throttle, but WOT is a whole different map. The oxygen sensors don't read the AFR it should be at at WOT... So it can't tune itself.

If the sensor is the problem, wouldn't your gauge's reading be screwed up too then?
