knock/misfire problem

I am seeing abnormal amounts of knock (7-11*) near redline in 1st gear and frequent misfires on the 1-2 shift whether using NTLS or shifting quickly. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? The only culprit we can think of is a leak in my stock charge piping, as the plastic tab that holds it on broke off.

Thanks fellas.

Just went out on my break and did some runs on a dead-end road next to my work. It misfires horrendously on the 1-2 shift now. If I run it up to red line in 1st you can feel it pulling timing as well. Strangely, this doesn't happen in any other gear except 1st...

you should get it to the dealer or something to flash it to stock. cuz maybe its davids tune. he knows what he is doing but maybe that stock tune isn't really "the stock tune"

What trouble code is it? P0300 P0303 etc. Bad coilpack or spark plug usually.

Term, no trouble codes thus far..But it is VERY apparent it's misfiring when I shift. I suppose a dealer visit will have to suffice.

I had about 3-4 degrees of KR and slight misfires in the first 1k miles.

Now with the bigger intercooler I have 0 KR and only small misfires when the car is first warming up. Stock car other than intercooler.

Yeah I thought 3 or 4 was normal, but 7-11 is terrible.

it is his stock tune i saved it. but he was getting like 11* in first gear and it kinda jumped around in other. i think its your intercooler piping because it wasnt doing it before your piping broke so you probably have a small leak. and also at wot his car boost 20psi and drops to like 18psi. but i havnt seen a car knock so bad it was crazy. but you need to take it in asap to see whats going on
