My mods are, UTEC, Intake, Turbo Back Exaust and fuel pump.

Thanks,

Make sure you monitor that really close. I am getting knock in 3rd 4th and 5th at low rpm under WOT. We are thinking that the timing may be too aggressive for my setup at the low rpms. You could try to universally take off 1 degree of timing throughout the entire map and see if that helps. Or you could set the values back to ECU for the 0-40% columns. You'll get rid of the knock but you'll lose some power. Just depends on what you want to deal with right now.

just make sure that you save your current settings so you can go back if things dont work out. I had set the timing back to ECU for the 0-40% and was depressed for a little loss of power so I reentered the values back in and am taking it easy on the car until I can get some more feedback on the maps.
