MORE INFO ON THIS PLEASE.

Loki, it's well known EGR suppresses detonation. I could point you to any number of articles that so state including factory Toyota documentation. In fact suppressing det was what EGR was originally research for way back when. It's true EGR isn't active at WOT but not all high load situations occur there. Bottom line is run without EGR using owner manual stated octane levels at your own risk. Trust not the knock control system.

I can not believe I missed this thread - DEFINITELY thread of the year!

Just to back up what JJ has said (as though he needs it :biglaugh: ) EGR will help suppress detonation at high load, part throttle.

Think of when you are going up a decently sized hill, at 60-70% throttle. On the stock CT26, you'll be seeing plenty of boost ;)

Thanks Doward. Lol, around here I need all the help I can get. Not to mention the stock ECU remains in closed loop till around 3-4 psi under such conditions.

Cryo: I sure fooled that guy eh? Since when am I reasonable? ;)
