    What on the fuel part do you think it could be. Injectors, bad pump, fuel filter? and they are autolite 103's but they are gaped pretty far. Im pretty sure it was 1.0 or 100.. I was reading somewhere that said to gap it at .50-.52

    That's why I need a scan or something, your problem could be a number of things. Looking for something that could narrow it down. I WOULD NOT try to get the car to knock again. 2* is bad enough on 10psi turbo. There are too many variables to say it's one thing or the other. Without having a scan or knowing what the actual AFR is doing or fuel pressure, it's hard e-diagnosing.

    If you have a boost controller hooked up, it's time to take it off or turn it all the way down. I would not go over 20% throttle until you figure it out.

    I do have the boost turned all the way down. I won't lay on it until I get it to the tuner then.
    But There's no way of getting a scan until he checks it out unfortunately
