false knock from HELL!!

[TType84]

dammit!! i got the new ignition on, hoping everything would be okay.

its not.

my friend also sent me his t-link to use for awhile..

at idle, driving around town, i have 24+ degrees of false knock. I got on the highway and it settled around 30 degrees...

where the hell could this be coming from? I cant hear anything knocking, the only thing remotely close could be the downpipe, which im about to go mess with to see if moving it stops the knock.

what i need to know is, if the ECM thinks the car is knocking all the time.. how is that gonna affect things??

does 25+ degrees of false knock 100% of the time explain why once the boost goes over 10psi the car pops and stutters and falls on its face? 02's look good! they are actually kinda rich at ~830mv or so.. @ the track i had been in the 700s without problem..

someone PLEASE help me here.. this is really pissing me off, i might as well be driving a ****ing v6 mustang, what use is a turbo if you cant ****ing push the gas down past half throttle??????

yeah,she'll run a little funny with that much knock retard.

think about it this way:your chip has 18 degrees timing,and the computer is backing ALL of it out.

how's your oil pressure?a bottom end knock could cause that much kr.

are your convertor bolts tight?

hopefully it's your downpipe or something else easy.

nothing is loose... i moved thedp, remounted it... now no false knock.. but still notings changed... once the needle goes past 10psi (~half throttle) ppfptpftpfptfpptfp and it goes nowhere. im really getting pissed
