My boost is set at 12psi. Mods include 2.5 exhaust w/ test pipe. Fuel pump rewire. upper ic pipe. Ported turbo and exhaust manifold. K&N filter mod.

I've tried tightening my throttle cable twice and its as tight as it can go. Also my cars idle is pretty high at 1500rpm, can this effect anything?
 
just to see if you still get knock. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, I was having knock at low boost. I'm going to log again as I've since gotten a 255 hp rewired, afpr and water injection.
 
Your high idle is probably due to having the throttle calbe too tight. "As tight as it can go" means as tight as you can make it without driving the idle revs higher than stock. I'm with the guy above me in turning down the boost. You're getting a ton of knock and really need a tuning solution to richen things up a bit, but until then you really should get the boost down to where the knock is reasonably under control. Also consider a pocketlogger. They're absolutely great for 1gs and will give you much faster and more precise logs. Until you can really see what your engine is going on, it'll be harder to draw conclusions.
 
Whats the difference between a pocketlogger and a palm with the mmcd program? And why would my tps be 99.6 with the throttle cable tightened? I also did a log with my boost turned to 11 psi and I had zero knock. I think I have phantom knock problems cause I can't see turning down the boost 1psi would make that much difference. I'll have to do some more logs.
 
Resolution is the difference. Granted there's no timestamps on your log, the pocketlogger churns out 50 samples/second on the 1g version. Better information leads to a better tune.
 
don't my o2 numbers look low since I'm only running 12psi? So if I'm running a little rich why is my high trim at 83percent. Doesn't a 83 high trim mean I'm rich? Would a larger fuel pump help or would it just mask a problem from somewhere else?
 
OOps I meant the O2's look as if Im running a little lean, not rich. When I logged at 15psi my o2s were around 79.
