Default Recommended UTEC Knock Threshold settings for STi?

Are these the recommended knock threshold settings - I saw these on my UTEC (just a heads up: I'm not the tuner) and also on TurboXS websites.

Engine Mods: GT30R, UR up/dp. tial 44mm EWG, Halman Pro MBC set to 20 psi, Spearco TMIC, PE 850cc, Perrin rails, UR intake, Koyo rad, Greddy Type-S BOV recirc, lots of IC spray (not injection), UTEC w/ Ecutek

Knock Threshold settings set to:
idle to 2K: 105
2K to 3K: 100
3K to 4K: 92
4K to 5K: 75
5K to 6K: 72
6K to 7K: 65
7K to 8K: 63
8K+: 60

This is where my setup is different:
Knock count threshold set to 3

And my setup goes back to their params:
Knock retard step set to 1
knock max retard set to 10
knock retard duration 100 cycles

Also, I noticed that the TPS doesn't read zero at idle - or even with the car not running - it reads 6. I have to go back and verify it reads 100 at WOT. I assume I do that with the car off and use the dashboard.

Thanks, yeah I know not to lower the numbers - my question is whether they should be higher and are these the recommended settings from TurboXS?

And if not (for the Sti) then what are they?

Those are the default settings from TurboXS for the STi. I'd leave them there as the default settings seem to work ok. You could increase them a little bit but there is no reason to do so unless you have a way to verify that any knock you get isn't just engine noise.
