Hi,

Not much help, but mine does the same at low-revs under load. Plus I have the infamous ST-stutter. I suspect that my fuel pump is playing up, but have not got around to reading any codes yet.

Let me know if you find a solution to the pinking.

St stutter is a flat spot in the rev range around 2000-2200rpm, can be fixed with a dreamscience remap, bluefin wont fix it.
