Questions after ETS intake install *Help ASAP*

Ok i got the intake all done, let me just say first my car is load sounds like im sucking up sooo much air (cool). Any ways, two questions.

1. Im getting knock any where from 3 to 6 or 7,, most of the time its like 2 or 3 and it was show 1 on my AP when im in 5th doing 40mph WOT. Is that ok? Im running the beta stage 1 map and running 93oct.

2. Im getting fludder when im at high boost, it does it like i wanna say 70-85% of the time ha. Just wondering if that normal for the stock rec bov or do i need to upgrade?

Thx you i need to know this before i go on my trip tomorrow to PA which is an 2 hr ride.

Last tune plus added a new intake equils more air in the system with same fuel and its knocking. Simple solution get it retuned. Flutter in the bov is its not staying closed either add a tighter spring or get rid of the stock bov to fix it.

Stock tune the intake is fine, but with a tune the car is already leaned out it may be too lean now. The factory settings on these cars are pig rich.

Just like the guy above, I would recommend a retune or a stock flash

You're loading the engine up way too much going WOT in 5th gear at 40mph. You will get knock doing that tuned, untuned, stock, etc.

Goin WOT at low RPM in a higher gear isn't good?

As for the OP, it shouldn't be fluttering at high boost, and just adding an intake isn't going to make the boost too much for the stock BOV, make sure you have the BOV in correctly.

Thx for the info guy big time!!! Well i have the AP with the cobb tune, so (feel dumb for asking) but should i retune with the same tune or wait to save up some cash to get a tune from like AMS? The BOV is on the right way im hitting 25psi at max ill check again but that what it showed on the AP, like the user said above it sounds like it having troble closing at high psi. It sounds normal when i left off the gas (the woosh sound) but at WOT hitting max psi ill get what sound like fludder and to me but it might be in my head buuuut it doesnt feel like its not pulling hard like it did before. Like i said it might be just me idk if that fludder would kill some of the power like that.
