I flashed the Stage 1 Si tune to my car this morning and now my Ktuner is saying my Knock Cont is at .59. Is this part of the tune or did I mess something up? I haven't driven it, it's just been idling. When I had the 19.5/23 psi tune Knock Cont was at .49. Am I still safe at .59? Any help would be appreciated. @VitViper @KTuner . Thank you

.59 is Ktuner's starting point after a reflash. That is how it is supposed to work. (It will auto adjust from there, based upon your fuel quality.)

It's gone down to .57 but I only saw 17 psi in 2nd gear. I thought it was supposed to be 25psi.

What 360 said, it's completely normal and supposed to do that. It'll go down depends what fuel you use.. I use 93 and after a few minutes It'll settle down to 54-55% for me and pretty much stay there.

I'm not sure how much good 25psi is going to do you in 2nd gear if you intend on maintaining traction. :)

Try it in 3rd at 3500RPM or so, just a guess. A good tune is not going to target max boost at every RPM in every gear.
