You could be getting consistent knock and have no idea, possibly even detonation without knowing just by listening and going off how it 'feels'.
No, you will not get knock or DET while idling, it will be when the car is under load / boost, etc.
This is the scary thing, without an experienced tuner looking through many logs under different conditions, and possibly a knock microphone strategically placed on the engine block, no one can know what kind of real damage is being done to the engine until poof, one day it fails and then you are screwed. I am not trying to scare anyone, but again, if that boost is accurate - 28 psi, I can't imagine that not having serious negative engine implications.
