Detonation!!!! I need help trying to solve this problem

Here is my setup.
1993 900 turbo with OEM TE05-12b
SD APC BOX
SD 27 lb injectors
Trent RRFPR (3.0 bar at idle/hose disconnected)
NGK 7EV's
Magnecor Wires
New Cap and Rotor
Base boost at 5.5
base timing 17 (10 at max retard)
gutted cat
rebuilt 2.0 head with minor P&P
My problem is knock at 18psi. I am trying to get a consensus whether or not this is just the fact that the TE05 is out of range and generating too much heat. I hooked up a knock led and all I see is knock the second that I get up to 18 psi. Given my setup, which should be supplying plenty of fuel, do you guys think this is the limit of the turbo? or something else I am missing? Mind you, this is happening when it has been in the teen's and twenties here in Mass.
I know that water injection and/or a 3 downpipe would help, but before I do that I want to be sure it is necessary. I am working on a FMIC right now
but I don't think it will solve the problem.
Anyone else has this experience with a TE05? or even a Garrett T3?
I don't want to throw money at it only to find out I didn't solve the problem.
Thanks
Brian
