17PSI on a stock fuel system is way too much. You are experiencing Detonation. Dial the boost back to around 13-14psi and you should be ok but keep in mind you need to upgrade your fuel system and get some kind of fuel management. There is a great option out there for the factory turbo cars, it's called DSM Link. Do a little research on the net for it and you will find it gives you almost limitless tuning ability and tons of room for future mods. From personal experience with this I've seen very large gains on mild modded cars.
