So, the DI senses the knock? What, impedance in the combustion
chamber as measured by the spark plugs, or what? What's the
sensing mechanism there, and how does that information get fed back
to the ECU for it to back down the boost? Actually, the theory still
holds even though the hardware is different - whatever is sensing
predetonation, or should be, is apparently not doing so. Since they've
replaced everything involved except possibly the left-rear taillight,
maybe it's time that they try a DI cassette.
