Boost spike was snuffed as explained, it was a known issue but I fucked it up when adjusting by going the wrong way. Spike is about 23 now and regulates at 21.5 as per the programmed map. PID tuning can smooth it more but not a concern atm.
Detcans give zero audible knock at present, but not willing to screw more timing in until on a dyno and can actually concentrate on listening for it, rather than steering and tuning the wireless.
