70-110 huh? Sounds like the EGR is making your car add too much timing perhaps use the periphery and disable the EGR as a test?

I dont think there is EGR on the X

ok ECU reset did nothing.. still getting upto 13KS during cruise...

I also took a look around the engine bay, couldn't see any loose hoses...

my next course of action will be taking of the 3port and seeing if that helps.

too much timing at cruise can cause knock. Your original map you say does the same thing?

yeah I have reverted to stock igntion maps...

same deal..

i was running upto +4 timing b4 and it was ok...

I'm stumped

ditto...

ill undo the 3port and see what's what..

if that doesn't fix it... then I will flash back to stock

maybe I will flash back to stock before hand - its easier eheh

update...

ok so I flashed back to stock ROM (except for mode23 and rear02 disable)

and I only get cruise knock in the first 10 minutes of driving... car should be well warm by 3-5 mins...

Still that's more than I am used too...

I am going to have a look under the car tommorow and just make sure nothing is loose...

update

just plugged in the second boost solenoid and undid my P0247 DTC fix...

no change. still bad knock.

next I will be unhooking the 3port from the power...

slow process but needs to be done

Have you checked the spark plugs?

not yet...

you think its worthwhile?

EGR is achieved by phasing the camshafts.

I agree with MrFred about checking the spark plugs. Since your car has been knocking for several days now there should be signs of detonation IF your car really is knocking.

Your issue is definitely a bit odd. Hard to imagine what could be causing it. Under closed loop cruise conditions, the 3-port ought not to be cycling, so I doubt you'll get any relief by unplugging it. I expect that there would be nothing wrong with the plugs, but I probably would probably still check. Not sure what I would expect to see if something is wrong. I'd probably try and take a look into the cylinder bore as well.

yeah i dont really have access to a borescope

i hope to get under the car later today and just double check the exhaust isn't banging on anything...

Does the car run the same otherwise?
