When does it show knock ? the senser can pick all sorts of other sounds. I went out yesturday and was seeing a max of 88 on the senser but i\'ve just been ignoring it (been on dyno 2 weeks ago and all is perfectly well setup, set on rich side too)

Only really worry if its doing it on throttle, most of my readings are when i just come off throttle and it pops the excess of feul in the exhaust (can\'t help loving it popping, not sure if it flames as well !)

I think the pfc tells you alot more on knock even though the senser can misunderstand other noises in the engine bay.

I would guess that its the tank of gas you are running.

it knock mainly on hard boost, rang Brian for a frantic chat explained about the oil and he said that excess oil would get blown in to the inlet causing a decrease in ron levels which with the super only would cause it, so drained some out and checked it as it was big time over full just taken it out for another drive and all is gud. :D back down to 30\'s

has anyone else experienced this
