go over to the tri-state forum for some input on turbo trix. more then a few unhappy subaru customers leaving with very odd tuning sessions.

did you have any knocking before you went to turbotrix?
I'm regretfully aware of that now. Unfortunately the damage may already be done..

I didn't experience any knock before TurboTrix.

I don't have a wideband. I loaded the base map and made a quick rip, bumped up boost 25 points and timing 1 degree. Upon more driving, it started knocking again. I just got back in from more road tuning. I have the boost values set at 375 from 0-3000RPM then 385-395-400 as it reaches 3500-4000RPM.

I don't know what the thesholds are on the UTEC. I've never changed them, or set them at all for that matter. What should they be set at? What is too extreme?

While road tuning today, we did a pull in 5th gear from about 3000RPM. As expected, boost creep set in as boost crawled to 19psi (previously the max was 16psi) and at about 5000RPM I got a knock count of 24 but the car didn't hesitate, sputter, shut down, or blow up!

If the threshold is set too low, is the UTEC taking little bits of knock and making it appear to be a bigger issue than it is?

Should I just drive my car off a cliff and start over?

WTH is wrong with my car!!!
