Peak torque = most powerful indevidual explosions in cylinder

Thank you for that. That was my original thought, but as I stated earlier I am still trying to soak up as much of this small displacement boosted stuff as possible. It also helps me in understanding why he gets the most knock in the very rpm range where peak torque(maximum cyl. press.) is occurring with the factory turbo.
