Let them do it?
I mean, it's a hard row to hoe, and the slow journey to apathy is a fun one.

Even regular tech shit can be busted.

Is the idea of a Rogue Trader becoming an Imperial Knight (via doing some hefty favors for the AdMech) plausible? My GM and I were talking about it. He thinks no, because any knight houses that are tied to the forge world that the RT would be getting the Knight from would see it as dishonorable and would stop protecting/supplying the forge world in question. I don't see why the AdMech would care, assuming the RT in question has done enough for them to earn it (I mean, it's basically the same reason they give Knight suits to the worlds that supply them), and I doubt a Knight House would be in a position to argue with the FW about it. Thoughts?

Nope. Knight orders are incredibly insular, some with bloodlines and titles going back to Old Night. You couldn't possibly suck enough dicks and ship enough payola to skip yourself to the head of the line for assignment of one of their coveted (and potentially ancient) Knight Titans.

Now, could you just get the Knight anyways? That's a very conditional maybe. Leaving aside how the fuck you're even going to begin to learn how to operate it, that's a boon on par with being gifted a free warship. And much like being gifted a free warship, production times are typically measured in decades. In addition, you'd be dealing with a singularly powerful forge world, as not every two bit cogboy convention is crapping out Knights. Entire Space Marine chapters don't get gifted Titans of any stripe; the favors you'd have to pull off would need to be of a similar order of magnitude. Also, the time they're dedicating to fabbing you a Knight is time they're not spending fabbing a frame for whatever noble house they usually service. Expect this ancient, exclusive, haughty, and ludicrously powerful organization to ask questions -- potentially via pointed use of obscene firepower.

You could maybe get the robot itself. not the title.

Bro, you wouldn't get the knight from the forge world
The ONLY plausible reason your RT could become a knight is if he basically single-handedly saved a knight world himself while all the knights where like incapacitated or something. You get the knight from the family, not the admech.
And even then your RT would HAVE to be nobel born, and would probably have to get married to someone in the knightly house as well.
