Still have the stock airbox? You could always slap that back on to help keep the boost down till you get some more fuel in there.

Yep I still have it....think I should ? Damn, I would sure hate to be the guy that comes back to the forum and says: "car was boosting fine, until I hit 1bar and the engine started sounding like a lawnmowner"

About the "hesitation" thing, I dont think it was detonation (I sure HOPE it wasnt ). Almost after every occurance, I would shift of the gear and leave to neutral, so that engine would idle, and I could see if there were any "signs", like irregular idle, weird sound, etc....Didnt notice any loss of power, idle is still -somewhat- rock solid, all the power is there, so...

Of course I know that very slight detonation can cause small cracks in the apex seals, which will of course lead to final failure and loss of compression. Dont know though....

Good thing I havent installed my TID yet....the stock airbox will still drop in in a few seconds, so I can control the boost levels....
