?1) Is the car running HOT? Whats the temp gauge reading? If the thermostat is stuck or sticking and the cars hot she will ping.
2) Try backing off your timing 2 degrees.
3) Is your airfilter clogged?
4) How many miles on plug wires?
5) If you replaced the pistons with non stock pistons. I bet you might have a slightly higher compression and if it's higher this isnt good in a Turbo you will ping like mad. Hope this isnt the issue.
6) Whats the stock compression and whats the new compreshion? If it's higher than stock you could be in trouble and may need to retard the timming."
Maybe I missed something, isn't this a 9-5 with DI? Timing? Plug wires?
