I do get a slight pinging at WOT under full boost but none or not audible at 3/4-7/8 throttle or when the boost is under 8-9psi.

This is with normal 91 octane gas, havent tried 93 with 10% ethanol yet, but now that the car is full exhaust I dont usually do any WOT or high RPM runs on the street, its too nice of a low mile pace car to mess with racing or max boost, the test & tunes were just for fun to see what it would do, very happy with times that are almost 2 full seconds faster than recorded stock times with a professional driver... & mine is 99% stock still.
