Semi O/T: Got a pickup with 2.0 16V, do I need Motronic?

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

you know, along these lines, i have a question to all of those running a
cis-e 2.0. specifically those who converted/upgraded from 1.8.
i've noticed that since the swap on the rieger, i have to retard the timing
a bit to prevent knock. it wasnt constant knock, it only appeared while
flooring it (only during the period where i am pushing the pedal towards the
floor). once i'm in steady hard acceleration, the knock is gone (well, other
than that of my head knocking into the headrest as i try to keep it upright
:).
could this perhaps be a miscalculation of the knock sensor box vacuum
sensing, possibly thrown off by the added 0.2 liters?
...or is my knock sensor just shitty?
