My guess is it's the low octane fuel. My 9-5's have all had noticeable turbo lag when running less than premium fuel in hot weather - the engine management is trying to prevent detonation by retarding the spark and possibly even reducing boost. Your description of pinging further supports this theory. Try some 92-93 octane and see what happens.
