I know most of the stuff the Audi publications say, but my job is 
programming these 20vt ECUs and I can say for sure, boost isn't lowered 
when an engine detonates, nor is the mixture enriched. BTDT lotsa and lotsa and 
lotsa times."

So, the loss of power many people experience is not caused by poor fuel or heat 
soaked IC's, it is just the inefficiency of ill-timed ignition?

No ECU influence whatsoever?
