alright guys, i have been asking you all about how i can get my car to stop pinging. i had my tune right, the ECT was at like 188 an i was getting pinging. well i removed the egr and air pump just casue i didnt need them really. well i was kinda iffy about taking out the egr, but im glad i did. since i have taken it out i have noticed ZERO pinging at high rpm. even with the motor heat soaked at over 200*. so all i have to say is thanks to the guys that talked me into taking it off and anyone thinking about doing it DO IT!
