"Knock retard". Don't be so damned touchy, jeez.

What kind of advice were you hoping for with so little information given to us? Is your knock sensor properly torqued? What octane level are you running? Which turbo and at what boost? Do you have enough injector for your setup? Is there a possiblilty of false knock (retard)?

Yep - not enough info. What's your fuel pressure? Any vacuum leaks?

Seems to me the issue with you (and your car) is not getting the very basics right.

I see it a lot. People frustrated with their cars for similar shit  but the BASICS aren't done.

No offense - just sayin

Start here and work your way through their site - especially on getting a correct baseline tune.

http://gnttype.org/maint/basics.html

TPS, vacuum leaks, FP reg, etc- all of the basics - then worry about trying to make it go fast.

Sounds like a plan... now to wait for my trans bracket so I can get a baseline and still drive it.
