    Default Knock Retard

    Guys need a little help, lately ive been getting KR when accelerating mostly in each gear as high as 2.5 sometimes but mostly under 1, it usually starts about 5 minutes after driving it (as car get warmer). but it always reset back to 0 very quickly. and the highest ive seen on a WOT is 0.4.

    im going to take it into jimmy to have a look at it but wanted to get some suggestions or information that i havent maybe read online.

    Is there any ways of reducing it or stopping it.
    Maybe like one step colder plugs

    Let me know what you guys think.

    Tune: Stage 1 + SRI + TIP (corksport tune)

    Revert back to stage 0 safe tune until you upgrade pump or internals.
    Is your BOV set to recirc or VTA ?

    BOV won't have any impact since it doesn't come into play until you let off the accelerator

    Okay so i think it might have been the tune, i flashed the stage 0 and have barely seen anything. its shown a little here and there but not nearly as much as it was showing the highest i saw was a 0.75.

    ill just wait to install all other mods at one time and go get a proper tune.

    Make sure your next install is either a fuel pump or internals.
