Op decided to go back to the base file and race non stop on a untuned tune. And now has.some type of knocking sound . But only in boost as if like a blown turbo or spun bearing ...

Real nice.

OP, it was a bad idea from the start to go make a video of a tune unfinished and then race around on it before it could even be dialed in.

Most likely a spun bearing.

He states the base file was quicker.. which is possible since the base file was lean due to it not beaing tuned in.... But I'm sure he learned his lesson.

It was only off that far due to the base file being made in a 30* temp. It's basically frogstofalls file but revisions made... It wasnt off 18% all the way through just random spots

OUCH....yeah KR in the midrange at WOT would def **** soemthing up. Thats what happens when you dont listen to your tuner haha

Good thing he learned from this and I really do hope that the dealer does take care of it.

OP you need to learn what knock sounds like cause I bet it was pinging like a **** at WOT. You just didnt know what to listen for.
