    What am I hearing?

    So it was tuning after all and not a mechanical knock sensor issue. That's usually the case on ACN. ACN fuel is no joke. Takes a lot of experience to tune, safely. Hopefully what you were hearing (detonation) didn't hurt anything. Good job keeping your ears open to it! And always happy to...

    What am I hearing?

    You are 100% correct, the system is a reactive system. I had 2 tuners tell me it was proactive....I couldn't believe it. There are proactive steps to the knock system, but in order for it to do it's job it needs to hear it. That's why it has knock sensors lol. If it didn't really knock then...

    What am I hearing?

    VERY hard to tell what it is. Detonation can be hard to pic up on a mic over exhaust noise. However, if you can hear knock, it's eventually going to be catastrophic. You made a post about adaption a few days ago when you mentioned me, 'auto octane' type post. Most often don't understand how...

    Tune adaptation

    There is not an adaption period on my performance tune. Just transmission learning as stated. The stock tune and FP tune all have adaption built in due to the one size fits all method. They can learn up and down. I don't ever recommend an auto octane/auto adjust when trying to make MORE power...

    COBB Accessport - Goosetuned Tuning thread

    It helps get rid of knock. It won't hurt anything that's for sure.

    Highest mileage tuned

    Because it's factual, I do. I've done everything I've needed to do with my ST, so I no longer needed it. I have almost a dozen R&D vehicles, I can't drive them all. I'm not sure what you're talking about as far as pedestals are concerned. I'm not talking about me, you are. I'm just stating...

    The car still has 140,000 miles on it, and has ran 10s over 40 times, on the: Stock motor Stock trans Stock turbos His car has probably seen more abuse than most cars will ever see in the last 10,000 miles. I know this platform isn't used to seeing this type of consistency all while keeping...
