If it's been tuned have your tuner go back and disable that code

check engine

Check engine lights on and off sometimes means knocks.

He must not have disabled the code through periphery bits then. Have him do that.

check engine

Maybe the tuner left it out as an knock count. lower the boost or increase gas octane...

If you have the knock CEL enabled it does, but he is just throwing a misfire code.

well the knock count before the tune was 8-9 due to a huge climate change and it never being tuned. After the initial tune it was at 2-3 knocks where he said that was normal!
