Default Any issues with APR chip pinging?

I had their v3.0 software on my old B5 years ago which pinged like crazy, is this still a problem on the B6 software?

Would the 91 octane program eliminate this issue? How apparant is the power difference between 91 & 93 octane programs?

Default I had no pinging when I ran the stage 1+ for 40,000km

Below 60mph there isn't much difference between the 91 and 93 octane maps.

I did notice a bit more power from the 93 octane map when you pushed the car hard above 60mph.
