I can run it through my software to see where the power is in relation to my customers cars with similar mods.
Hi Mellon Racing,
after another retune my car response better and achieved 400+ mark with 1.6 bar of boost (pump gas - octane 92) but on the following day i tried wot from 3rd to 4th til 5th gears during a hot sunny day, the knocks register was tremendously high (70~80 range) on pfc commander.

On 1st til 3rd wot and with full boost the knocks counts mostly under 20...

So, there is a source told me that it might be my backpressure problem as it is common for a smaller turbine housing .63 A/R.
Is it true? They said a .82 trim will significantly reduce the knocks but will it be laggy on a GT3076R power by 2.0L?

Thanks

sounds like you got a "dyno queen tune" that's only good for 1 gear pulls, you need a real tune that covers it all. Drop the bro tune and get a pro tune

Post the dyno chart so it will be earier for us to see the AFR & boost curve ...
Then we will know what is going on ...
I suspect your tuner is running very lean causing knocking to achieve high numbers ...

Hi Boonkae,
no laa...If its so simple by just refering to the dyno chart, i dont think there is a problem at first...

AFR is slightly lean on 2000~3500rpm (13.5) & (12~11.7) on 3500 til 7500 redline if refer to the dyno chart.

Highest torque curve is around 4000~5500rpm.
