Thank you for posting this info, Martin.
This needs to be linked over to the ECUflash forum. Some of the things I've seen floating around in there are pretty scary...

^ It is scary some of the people that try to tune themselves and do not not have basic tuning knowledge.
Tuning is the one thing that i will leave to the professionals. I would like to give it a shot but i would still send the map to Martin (if he would ever have the time) to check it over for me.
lol
That is sig worthy

Unfotunately to make the best torque you have to provoke the angry drunk beyond his level of toleration and he'll explode on you

To add some information to this thread.
A lot of people are confused between pre-ignition and detonation. Detonation is what causes knock. Here's a great article on the subject(s): http://www.streetrodstuff.com/Articl...ne/Detonation/
I'd also like to comment that with turbocharged engines, like our beloved Evos, peak VE is greatly affected and can be moved around by the type of turbo and boost control that is used.
In my (limited) experience, the following Evo mods affect VE to a noticeable degree:
- turbo
- boost control method
- cam shafts and cam timing
- intake manifold
- ported head

This goes out to anyone. If you have had a bad experience with a vendor. PLEASE post so in the vendor / tuning review section. Due to EVO M rules its the only way we have to combat faulty product and services.
If your voice isnt spoken the next guy has no way of knowing and another person will be ripped off.

Quick explanation:
Detonation - Quick and uncontrolled combustion, resulting in a very quick release of energy (pressurse spike) instead of controlled flame propogation.
Pre-igntion - The air/fuel mixture being set of by something else than than the spark plug. Pre-ignition is usually very destructive.
