[QUOTE="ess530i, post: 361236, member: 13496"] here's a photo of the plug... seems kinda whitish moving on... i need to decide quickly on the following options: 1. remove the TS2 kit and return to stock standard (not something i want) 2. rebuild the engine with forged internals (9.0:1 CR) and maintain 10psi of boost (would go for it if i can be assured the engine wont blow, i still believe the tranny can take the load with regular oil change, 2yrs of hard driving & didn't show any sign of failing) 3. rebuild the engine with stock internals and reduce boost to 8psi which is ESS TS2 stock (really no confident since there are tons of knock when hot) either way the meth/water injection will be removed as safety precaution (it was initially added as a safety precaution against detonation!) will reducing the CR from 10.2:1 to 9.0:1 greatly reduce the chances of a detonation / knocking? reduce the engine heat? please input guys... thank u very much [/QUOTE]
