Should it be clattering at this low boost?
so chances are ive probable damaged a piston(s)? i will say this, My car is pretty quiet and i'm very keen on hearing detonation. i never ignore it and always let off immediately

Verdad Gallardo yeah dude put some boots on when welding. that **** is no joke. i burned the bottom of my feet really bad when i was about 25 hardfacing a drag bucket. i was sitting on a block of wood with the soles of my boots together in front of me and I musta hit some porosity b/c it blew about a half pound of molten steel into my lap (luckily leather apron or i'd be singin castrato!) well that **** ran down onto my boots and as soon as it hit the welt it steamed the leather and cooked my goddamn feet! smelled like bacon i **** you not. i was off work 6 months and developed a nice little taste for pain killers that took another 6 months of ****** around to get right. wear some PPE ya ding dong!

You also gave me am idea. It does happen right around the shift recovery. I can add some timing retard on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift. It does jump up in boost right when i shift. Glad you pointed that out. I'm not sure i need to do a compression test yet. I hear no noises and it runs perfect still. I have a very keen ear too. thanks for the suggestions and making me realize that about the shift.
Doesn’t seem like much timing (if it’s correct) for 8.5-9 psi to make it rattle. I’ve never messed with pump gas before either, so take that for what it’s worth. I agree though, an easy test would be to knock some timing out of it (like 4 degrees 300 rpms on both sides of the shift recovery rpm) and see what happens. At least that’s what I’d do.

Well my dudes, I just want to thank you guys. The plugs appeared to fix it. It idles no different. Drives no different. But when I put the hammer down....she gets it. The detonation was definitely taking big power away because it pulls harder than it ever has. I made a few hits just now and I’m happy. All the plugs that were in it showed no signs of detonation however and looked perfect actually. But I know that’s what I heard for sure. It’s 49 degrees right now so it’s about as cold as it’s been when it was pinging.
