Guys i really need some feed back on this one. I have an 05 VIII, and i went to have it tuned and we were having a problem with my torque, I was on the dyno and they were playing around with it and the got my HP up to 305 at 21LBS of boost but my Torque stayed super low at 233. they said that every time that they tried to advance the timing my knock sensor was going crazy and it wouldn't allow it to accelerate like it should. The guys that were tuning my car are very reputable here, and i have never heard anything but good stuff about them. So they said that there was no engine noise, and that if i replaced my knock sensor that it should fix the problem but it didn't. I have 3" AMS turbo back, K&N CA intake, headers, HKS intercooler, HKS BOV. I'm sure that someone has seen this problem and i would totally appreciate some help here.
Oh and my quarter mile times are pitiful cuz of it!!!!!

 

Some type of phantom knock?

 

Yea thats what one of the dudes said i got up underneath even to make sure that there wasn't anything hitting the block. nothin!

 

Bump for more input. I have no idea but am interested in what's going on here.

 

Honestly dude it was just a bad tune! I know it's been a while since this thread got started but yea real bad tune...i've done some things to the car since this and she's running great 370 to the wheels! BAM!!! ahaha...I guess what i learned with this is even if you get a tune and ur car is running well doesn't mean that ur tune couldn't be jacked up still

 

your torgue should be around 300 at 25psi on dynojet with the right tune . You might wanna do a leak test, if u have a manual bc , check it too. Check the wg actuator, might need tighten it up. Your tb shaft seal might leak bad. Had my car tuned in georgia several times too. Good luck brother

 

^^^^ the problems were fixed it was just the tune

 

good to hear another happy customer. congrats.

 

Thanks man!
