I want to caution everyone with knocking issues to not WOT until you guys sort all the issues with it, because you might get rods bend and it'll be too late then - at the very minimum you'll be looking at long block replacement with labor - I mean who needs that kind of headache?
Just take it easy and sort it out. I would NOT recommend going Stage 2 on n63tu on x5 f15. Guys Stage 1 is enough (and risky by itself). There is no need to go all in and increase risk of bending rod with Stage 2.
This might be unpopular post here, but hey just my 2cents.
I know 2 people from this forum who had to replace engine due to bent rod after going Stage 2 and then WOT on highway. You are pushing it too close to the limit. With boost levels on Stage 2 and WOT - you are a hair split away from ANY hiccup that will be the tipping point. By ANY hiccup I mean if during WOT you'll get misfire (as an example) - at this point long block replacement with labor probably will cost more than F15 x5 itself costs nowadays.
