How does the car drive ?When were the plugs and coil packs last checked? Any slight misfires or holding back?
67 is quite high. Would speak with your mapper. If you have the commander then you could try taking 4 points of the ignition and see if that reduces the knock levels. If it does then its a good chance your suffering from det.

dont worry mate i've got the same problem since mine was mapped, its partly to do with the hot weather, saturating the intercooler, i should imagine its det, i get it at high revs, just turn the boost down and be careful, dont let it happen if u can otherwise you'll have a big bill! going to get mine sorted next week, if its det ring zen performance and they can talk u thru taking out 4 points on he timing and it should help.
