I am in need for some expert advice. Currently I purchased a used PowerFC for my ST205 and brought my car into a shop for a safe tune (not aggressive). My issue is my Check engine light flickers on and off, I noticed that knock starts to report at low RPM range. 2600RPM - 3000RPM. I dont hear any knock and Im hoping that its phantom knock. I have added my logs from datalogit f anyone can provide any advice it would be appreciated.

my current mods are basic:
HKS Intake
Exhaust
manual boost controller set at only 15-16 lbs.
and Berk Downpipe.

The basic trick to fixing this is to massively drop timing in the 2-3000 RPM range at 100+kpa (0psi and above). This is the area where the turbo is just starting to spool, and the reduction of timing is going to actually help the turbo spool faster.

Here is part of a 3sgte ignition basemap. Notice how much timing there is between 2-3k around 100kpa. With this much timing, I would see some knock when going up hills.



Now here is a much better tuned map. See how much less timing there is in that area? With setup, I saw no knock in that same range.
