Way too cold here to be doing any work. Once spring rolls around I may start to work on the car again. The whole phantom knock thing really turned me off from bothering with this car.

I'm starting to wonder if they changed the cam, or the setting point of the cam. Ie., the zero point on one may correlate to 10 or something on the other.
I've had very little success adjusting the settings for the cam angles, but I believe that it may go better now that I have fine tuned the VVE parameters a bit. The extremely small changes that I have made so far have seemed to go well with my new VVE parameters.
I have a 2014 ltz i will try to post a file from, if you guys are interested...

it comes late like a gt30 on a 2.0 but but the k04+ peak efficiency is like 15 psi and that's where his is set at the moment. something about injectors are really small from the factory. the plus side to the k04+ is the twin scroll housing which does most the spool work.
i haven't tuned one yet so i don't know much other than standard maintenance.

Oh nice. Somehow, I am finding that my little stock K04 is going against the rules. I am not sure how long it will last but the car is much happier at DOUBLE peak efficiency. Yes I have been told that it will blow sky high for the last 15k miles - but the only victim so far is the stock pre-cat. (and tires, and lots of import cars lol)

I have been reading through all of these 1.4T tuning threads to get a grasp on tuning my ATS. One thing that I didn't see pointed out is that if you raise the Turbo Overspeed limit Min = 2.00 you have to also raise the Turbo Failure Airmass to 2.10. This is located in the Engine>Torque Management>Turbocharger. The stock setting for these on the ATS is Overspeed=.5 and Failure=.6 Before increasing the Turbo Failure Airmass I would get a horrible rattle from the turbo which I assume is the wastegate and or BOV. BTW I set my Turbo Overspeed Limit Min to 1.5 g/cyl and the Failure Airmass to 1.6 g/cyl.
Keep up the good work

What about this one? http://www.courtenaysport.co.uk/engi...69.html#Z16LEH. It looks like a complete bolt on set up, but IDK if the bolt pattern and turbine outlet are the same. I'm highly interested!!!

From looking at the stock manifold compared to the Courtenay sport product, they don't look like they would fit. The bolts don't look to be in the proper location.
This is also not a bad option. I had booked in Courtenay intake manifolds on Z20LEH opel astra-h-opc and workmanship was very poor. I did not like - the mating surface of the collector was curve locations for the fuel injectors of different diameters. And so on several intake manifold ( this decided not to risk it. With kits for which I sent a link is no problem. All well suited!
Bump for back on topic...
Ghost:
Have you tried adjusting your fueling to 14.4 from 14.7 for E10? It seems to have fixed my random bump of 1.9 Kr when cruising on the highway.
Thank you for sharing...
