[QUOTE="Kornilov, post: 14413800, member: 163077"] I just recently got my SCT X4 in anticipation of getting an AED tune. My first datalogs showed some massive knock from 4-5K rpm at WOT in 3rd gear (up to 5+). Shaun says he wont tune the car until the knock is resolved. My first approach was to put the car on a lift and go over exhuast components to ensure no looseness. Everything is on tight and proper: axleback connection, OAPs, H-pipe clamps. I zip tied some cable and lines out of the way on the bottom of the car and there was a vacuum tube in the engine bay that had worked its way out of its holder that I re-adjusted. However, everything else that is obviously apparent looks properly secured. The car is a stock 2011GT with MAC axlebacks. I almost universally run Shell 93. Previous owner did extensive mods but I bought the car with 2200 miles on the odometer after he had returned everything to stock - done to the paper filter in the airbox. Just tooling around today, I ran a super long datalog with some partial WOT pulls to see if there was any difference. There is still knock being recorded. So my next approach is to run the remaining tank of gas down and try another station and brand. But if this isnt a gas issue, what other things can I look at to address the knock? I will try to empty the tank tonight and get some fresh gas to get some datalogs tomorrow. Shaun didnt provide any guidance aside from "fix the knock and then come back with more datalogs". [/QUOTE]
