Hello guys, well my car is giving me some problems. 1st off is something that has been happeneing ever since i turned the boost down from 20 psi (when i bought it) to the 15psi its at now. Usually in 2nd or 3rd ger but not limited to those, under boost the car will stutter once or somethines twice for a second or 2, then pull to redline, best was i can describe the sound is like a stutterbox but while in motion and under boost. Second problem pretty much started yesterday. I will be cruising on the highway around 3k rpm in 5th under vac not boost and knock count will shoot up to 35+to 40+ from zero. If i downshift to 4th and get into boost i get no knock to worry about, maybe like 2-3 counts. It has been very chilly/rainy here and im not sure if that has anything to do with it. Thanks for reading this and any help in advance.
 
I'd check your plugs, NGK BPR7ES is the way to go. Depending on mods set the gap to .030 I think or .30 I cant remember off hand.
