just my .02 on the issue is that nowhere else in the subaru tuning community will you hear that consistent knock correction is 'ok' or 'the way it's supposed to be'. it doesn't make sense that it would be.

knock correction exists to mitigate the problems caused by necessarily sub-optimal tuning (from the factory). it's what you're paying to eliminate with a custom tune. you know what type of fuel you use, and what the knock threshold of your exact car for that exact fuel under your conditions is. the whole point of the tune is that is allows permanent correction for the variables the ecu has to deal with in realtime with corrections. it's why we scale maf sensors and tweak injector latency and try to make sure our flkc is clear. it's the entire. effing. point.

so no, your aftermarket tune done specific to your vehicle should not show significant, real, repeatable knock correction, and certainly not at higher loads.

i'll also note that from what i've seen ecutek logging only shows you 2/3 of the knock control picture. i haven't seen where you can view flkc with their logging software. so all you have to go on is fbkc (which is noisy at low loads and not often active at wot where load is steady) and rough correction (iam), but rough correction itself is easily (and commonly from what i've seen) disabled by tuners.
