knocking/banging noise please help!!
I posted this on the general section a few weeks ago and the only responce i got was my pistons were fried which I don't think is the case. What is happening is from idol to 1500 rpm my car is making a loud knocking/banding noise. My car only used to do it when it was cold in the winter , now it seems to do it a lot more about 85 to 90 % of the time no matter what weather it is out side. The only modes I have is the turboxs stage 2 setup (unichip), which is saftely tuned. Any suggestions or help to fix this problem would be greatly be appreciated.

It only does it from idol to 1500 rpm, its a knocking/banging noise it seems to be a little worse when its damp or cold out. Has anyone had any simular problems. I did a reset on the ecu and the same thing still occurs. Oil level is good. Any other problems you might thnk it is, that might help me. Thanks!!
