Ping! Help!

Ok.. I'ma try to make this as short as possible... My car is pinging in the high R's. 5k ago I received a new engine, transmission, Clutch, Flywheel, and pressure plate from Subaru. My warrenty is now voided. It is not from the ECU I have swapped with a friend's 03' WRX to no avail. I have just replaced the Turbo with a IHI VF22 and am boosting only 14PSI. I installed a Perrin fuel rail and my friend's 05' STi fuel pump. The car also has a Hondata gaskett on the Manifold to keep it cooler and the throttle body coolant is capped. I just put in new NGK step colder plugs. I checked the base timing on the car and it was off a tooth all around (helped but didn't solve the problem). The only possibilities I can think of are my injectors are bad or the timing control sensor is damaged. I also am getting a lot of oil in my intercooler and throttle body. Checked the turbo and there is only a vary thin coat that is to spec. I capped my PCV valve and there was still oil 2 days later. I'm gonna replace my PCV valve today and see if it helps the oil, but i still have the BS ping to deal with. I am ready to give up on my car and sell it... I love it when it works right.. Please help!

How about posting a log. Do you have any ideas what your AFRs are? If you have a fuel problem that'd be the first indicator (beyond fuel pressure,etc). Unless you have a log of a knock even there's really no way to tell. What are you using for engine management?

I have no engine management, just the stock ECU... But if the timing controll sensor is owned it wont matter what Engine management I get... I have the car running at 14PSI with fittings running through the turbo lines.. The stock Boost controller doesn't function properly... Today though I just remembered I purchased an extended warrenty. I just dropped my car off at the shop.. I am sick of dealing with it...

How does the warranty come into play if you've been tinkering with it?
How did the original warranty get "voided?"

Either get rid of the turbo, or get bigger injectos and engine management that's meant to handle that much fuel and air.
You've basically done something stupid and now you're paying for it. Rectify the situation or hurt your car.
