Back off B4 U...

Blow a gasket, or worse, crater the entire engine.:eek:
20#?? No led premium, [?] and no alky?? That's a start on the knok problem.
Also, maybe a TT chip, instead of the RA??
Boost loss could be timing being pulled due to knok. The IC could be leaking, the hoses loose, etc.
Lifter noise could be a cam going south, a p. rod bent, or eating up the rocker. [Maybe even a broken rocker shaft.]
If you are going to run that much boost, and no race gas, I'd suggest a RAZOR alky kit.
Continuing to hit that kind of retard will get you a membership in the DOTC club.:eek:
