maybe your lifters are noisy. my car crusing from around 2k~2500 will knock under partial throttle. most dsmlink guys will solve this by changing your knock sensor settings to ignore it up to 2500. the tricky thing is that if your turbo can make boost by 2500 then you have to be careful about things.


seriously looks like my problems i had. i replaced the lifters with newest versions. my o2 sensor was also on its way out but i doubt that had to do with the knocking.
