Unhappy Detenation

So how do you get rid of it or should I say get it to stop. From what I understand that Turob-XS got it to go away by putting one of there turbo backs on and some engine management does anybody have any input and is this going to be a problem down the road???

I did a search didn't find what I was looking for.

use higher octane? yes, wouldn't we all like to do that

engine management would probably be nice to have, especially if you're going to be tuning in the future.

hmm, add toluene, i think that would be cheaper, but maybe not neccesarily better.

and obviously, better tuning will allow you to avoid det.
vishnu has already done it as well.

STi??
where have I been?
trader.

Good luck on the detonation problem.
Use the intercooler water spray more on heavy throttle applications. It's there for a reason.

Yea where have you..

Yea you have been gone for a while. I went to look at WRX wagons and ended up by one although I kinda miss my RS although it was not as fun to drive but it was a good car. I heard the guy who bought it had it for like a month and had it parked on the side of the street and somebody side swipped the whole drivers side. Did you get the new cam in yet and if so how does it run I'd like to see your setup some time...

Second quater and score 0-0....
