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

>From what I have read on Scirocco16V.com, if you run this, you must have the
fuel enrichment add-on (although he does not indicate this clearly).  That
is what I drew from reading his notes on it...  Are you running it, and if
so, does it have multiple settings?  Also if so, what setting are you using?

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?
