In a turbo charged engine you can't compress the air as much before this happens because you have already forced 30% to 100% more air into the cylinder, its 'pre-compressed' if you will. This whole problem gets avoided with direct injection because the fuel is added after the air is compressed. Air can't burn on its own no matter how hot you get it. It needs fuel.

Thank you for that car information. I know even more about the camaro's engine now!
