BP 92 is better than Holiday 93 or most other pump gases so you are using the right fuel. And if you blow off valve wasn't holding the boost it would just leak out, I doubt it would studder and shake like that unless it was somehow surging.

Like I said earlier it all depends on your car, some cars like more boost with less timing and some cars like less boost with more timing. In most casing more boost equals more power even with less timing. So in my opinion you would be better off lowering your base timing and then try to run more boost and see if it doesn't knock.

And as far as your BOV goes, if you adjust it and it doesn't go away then try a different one to rule that out. There is a chance that the WG might be messed up to but the symptoms from that are going to vary depending on whats wrong with it. I think Shanes WG messed up recently, maybe he can shed some light on what happens when they take a shit on you.
