When installing the greddy there is the knock sensor wires do you install to knock sensors or to the intake temp as in the greddy book both are on the same wire so i take its either or??

Yep either or mate.

I'd use water and intake temp instead of knock.

well what i have had to do is im using the oil and 2nd ring from the the 1gfe pistons and researched about and found out that the toyota prius has the same bore and the correct size top compression ring, the only problen being is that the prius is only a 4 cylinder so had to order two sets and have alot of rings spare lol on the 1ggte pistons the rings have to be 1.2 x 1.5 x 4 and the prius ones are 1.2 x 1.2 x 2 if i recall and the 1gfe ones are 1.5 x 1.5 x 4
