Im still on my stock fpr and original fuel filter (so it looks to be atleast).
Boost pressure is irrelevant because it doesnt matter where its set to but when i "get on it" it knocks consistently inconsistent from 4800rpms and up. When this happens though, or as soon as that rpm range comes around, my o2 voltages go from .91+ to .08-.06.
Could this be a clogged filter because my o2 sensor doesnt even have 500 miles on it...its a brand new bosch.

Oh and my 650s are only at 76% idc at 24psi on my turbo.
 
If it's truely knock, and the o2 is reading that lean, then it's most likely a fuel delivery issue. It would be best to monitor fuel pressure in boost, to see where its at. If pressure is dropping off, then a clogged/dirty fuel filter could be it, or even the fuel pump not being able to deliver the needed fuel flow and pressure..Rewired the fuel pump? I dont know if I would trust the stock FPR at those boost levels either, but i'm sure some will say it should work ok.. I would look into a fuel pump rewire if not yet done, and a good aftermarket 1:1 FPR..that there may solve the issue..You do have a Walboro HP fuel pump in the tank right?
