But the problem is the knock only comes after 1-2 days and get worst over time.
If that is so, then you will need to have ur tuner check out for knocks using a knock-mic.. This is best done on a dyno.

When it comes to a modified car.. knocking is pretty common, since some of the parts we install can contribute to the false knocking which adds up along with the true knock. You have to factor in, false knocks coming from header, valve movement and so on.

But my car is stock apart from the intake duct and a drop in filter. I am still deeply troubled that both the tuner's cal and flashpro's 'Stock Equivalent' is knocking like crazy.

Does the knock count increase when the engine gets hot?

No. Same. I don't track nor push the car hard. Just normal driving to and from work. Let me say again the factory map don't knock under the same condition. All these are done over extended period of monitoring (ie I would drive for 1 week on each map and collect data log on a daily basis)
