Which mechanism causes internal combustion engine knock when turbocharger boost pressure is excessive?

💡 Explanation

When boost pressure is too high, excessive cylinder temperatures occur causing the fuel-air mixture to spontaneously ignite before the spark, due to exceeding autoignition temperature. Therefore premature auto-ignition occurs, rather than timing errors, blow-by or bearing breakdown which require separate failure modes.
