Message	causes the detonation sensor to vibrate more than it does in its stock position. This will cause the ECU to think that detonation is occuring, and it will pull timing. The ECU has a built-in feature such that when excessive detonation is detected, it will throw the system into safety boost and use the low-octane maps. Those with BCs wont see this since they have defeated the factory boost control solenoids, but those with boost jets will note that the boost will sometimes drop to 7psi after running the car hard which will reset when the engine is turned off and then restarted. This occurence is due to the relocation of the detonation sensor - it was not designed to be so far out from the crank.
