Detonation=Preignition=knock. Caused from too much boost+timing on too low octane or too little fuel. Other causes are high operating temps carbon deposits and iam sure many others.
The best way to avoid is to start with a good tuner (like you have done). Then use the best appropriate gas, plugs, ICs ect to guard against knock. The engine has knock sensors to protect it but these should be seen as a last resort.

I use 93 octane here, I know a couple of places where I can get 100 and 103 in town but I wish I had me a place out in the country a bit I could have my own pump!
Plugs, I am going with the Denso PK20, already in the car. The IC's should be on tomorrow and the BRV's already in. The biggest challenge has been removing the JUNK out and i am almost there. The way I take care of my cars I hope to see this one live a few years.
