I'm not sure what the culprit is but my car seems to have increased throttle response /sensitivity and my knock control easily rises upon accelerating. Before it stayed at a steady .49 until I hit boost for a good while then it slowly raises. Now when I get to any positive boost pressure It rises to .60+/-.05 pretty fast. I did my own oil and used the same 0w-20 from costco as when I changed it around 23k. The filter was a mobil 1 oil filter. Any guesses what could have happening while changing my oil to cause this? Or things I should double check?

I'm just worried because the knock cntrl was never this sensitive and I'm on the freeway hitting .7 often, before it would rarely rise over .6 on the same drives daily to work.

Usually it's gas. Maybe you got a bad batch of gas last fill up?
