Ah, the Greddy kit. The turbos are well known to fail shortly after installation as they are massively undersized for the application. The oil drain is also poorly designed, as you found out.
At low boost applications like this, 11.8 or so is fine. It's not critical to keep it exactly at 11.5 and if you do you're just blowing that fuel out of the pipe anyway. Higher boost requires lower ratios. Above 15 PSI or so, low 11s/high 10s is safest. As long as the timing is kept under control that is...
Heh, that's hardly a "tune". 
Detonation would sound like someone smacking the engine with a hammer. Very, very bad when under load. Don't expect the engine to last long under these circumstances.

which is good, cause I think I heard some. Sounded like sticking a spring steel strap into the spokes of a bicycle wheel, not sure if it was detonation or not though. IDK rotaries well.
