If lower than Denver you should be running 93  octane. Bosch W8AC plugs are 
plentiful (at least here), cheap,  and  do not ping in mine. Any chance the 
timing is not retarding under boost or  the mixture is leaning out ?

In Los Angeles we WISH we had 93 octane; 91 is the best available.   W8AC 
Plugs work just fine.
