It may have been one of you guys or someone on the Bimmer Forums that pointed me to this article on building your own noise amplifying knock detection listening device.
You can not build it for $15 anymore, the unit was $20 and the addition parts another $15. Buy still, for $35 its a deal.
The Whisper 2000 came from England so count on at least 4-6 weeks for delivery. I don't recall where I found it, search with google.

I just tried it out with the car at idle in the garage, seems to work very well. I will go against the recommendations in the article and drive with the head phone on tomorrow and see what I hear on boost.
I have some Panasonic noise canceling head phones I want to use with the unit but I need a stereo to mono plug adapter first. Should be just perfect for dyno runs
