Popping = no no. Especially with the interceptor, got to be very careful.

interceptor-x = no knock sensor to prevent the engine for pinging to death
popping = pinging aka detonation as a result of an untened car being beat
pinging a boosted rotary = death

have you never read the porting project thread? search his posts threads. you are misunderstanding. in the other thread with the blown motor he is the one fixing a car for a customer after another shop broke it.
