You could have a loose boost hose to the wastegate actuator, mine was split.
I knew instantly because my Phormula knock alarm went off, and the Monaro went past me as I headed for the slip-road....
DON'T drive it at 2 bar of boost, you'll kill it ! Assuming it's not a fully forged engine build.

P.S. I did and it must have had 460 bhp..... for about ten seconds !
P.P.S. If you actually mean the alarm is going off at around 1.7 bar.... then read the manual, on-line if necessary....
