ok so here's an update. i posted under this thread because i feel this still falls under this thread.

ok so i had a bad knock sensor and got another one and also switched to my 1g maf so i did some pulls up and down the street and my wastegate actuater isnt working properly as i boosted to 20psi on wg pressure, so i connected the BCS and i boost 14psi tops now. i usually dont really get any knock now but i still did see some degrees during the WOT pull and also when ever i see my CEL FLASH I let off the throttle just wondering if you guys could review my log and see a reason for this knock to appear?

STOCK TIMING TABLES

here's a link to a log with the new knock sensor

I thought you were only goning to log with your dsmlink.

Honestly, your best bet is to return as much of the car to stock as possible and run these issues to ground.THEN start the mod process again.

returning the car to stock is not an option as i see more work going backwards then to go fowards, ive been teaching my self on dsmlink its not to hard to understand but i stil have lots to learn, when i reduce timing lower than the stock timing tables i dont get knock should i just lower the timing?

so i leaned out fuel mixture and lowered timing and saw 1.4 degrees of knock, and the car made an excellent pull(felt amazing) but i also saw 8 degrees of knock while revving???
