Banging doesn't side like pinking.

Pinking is more of a metallic tinkling. Get it looked at asap or things may get expensive.

should be harder to make it pink if your running it on super unleaded

Mate sounds like theres summit seriosuly up.

Have you checked the timing, you might cure the revving and pinking problem in one hit with that, so much so it might be driveable to a tuning garage.

MAP sensor in the ERST ECU can go tits up and casue these symptoms. If Jamsport are local to you then call in there. Good bunch of lads
