I need as much input as possible from other HKS Twin Power owners

I purchased and installed a brand new HKS TP in November, everything went smooth, and the car started normally, just like it used to before the HKS unit; however I noticed that the LED on the unit was not on at all.

I did a search here on the forum, and apparently the LED barely comes up on these units; I then called HKS, and they said that it is a normal thing. Per HKS, if the unit was bad, the car wouldn't start, or would have a really bad break up; however the LED should come up under load or mid-high rpms.

So here is my question to you guys, does the LED on your HKS TP unit comes on at all? If so, at what point does it come up?

To those that had issues with their HKS Twin Power unit, did the car started at all? Was there any breakup? Was the unit under warranty?

Any help is greatly appreciate it :icon_tup

BTW - I checked, double and tripe checked all of the connections; and everything was connected properly per the HKS instructions.

 

My LED is faint when the car is on.

 

My led is lit when my car is running also

 

Is it faint or bright?

 

^^ I wouldnt really classify it as faint, but honestly i havent paid that close attention to it and never considered it an issue until reading this post. I would check it for u guys but the car is stored for the winter

 

It should be on when the ignition is on. It is faint to be sure.

 

Guys, thanks for the responses

OK so "faint" when the car is on, and does it gets brighter as the engine is under load?

The LED on my unit is always off, nothing, nada

 

check your ground wire for a good clean connection. take some sandpaper to the area and make sure its clean and paint free. bare metal is a great ground.

My LED is always on when my car is on.

 

Done that, and just to be extra sure, I then connected the ground directly to the battery...

Sounds good, thanks for the help!

 

my LED is on.. and i'd say it's bright.. not faint that's for sure

 

I would say my LED is medium (not too bright or too dim)

 

LED is well lit

 

All thanks for the help

The unit is on its way to HKS as I type this, however they are giving me hell about this unit

Besides the LED, is there any other way to tell if the twin power is working or not?
