Detonating with exhaust?
I had just installed an ETS TBE yesterday. On the way back from the shop, I boosted up a few times and noticed it detonating. At WOT Im reading 12.7 AFRs. Is this common? I can also feel the car pulling timing.

I just had the TBE installed. Im going for a tuned next week. Im just surprised that its running that sh**ty. I cant even get on it with out risk of knocking. So I have to drive around like an old lady until I get tuned.

No I havent checked the relay. My car was running fine prior to the TBE install. Could my relay have gone bad?

And regards to detonation, how can you tell that you are detonating? I'm running a full TBE, and intake with my stock map right now as well. I wanna see if my car is detonating or not.

There's a thread on here that shows a picture of exactly where the relay is. I can't seem to find it, now but I'll look for it when I get home.

2. Knock sounds like a lug nut rattling in a metal coffee can. (think about the sound it makes when you shake it fast). You will also feel a harsh hesitation while detonating/knocking.
