You should be running the highest octane possible on an import, if your running 95ron then im cringing as I would hate to see what damage that has already done

Mine is ONLY run on Tesco 99 and if not V-power and it doesn`t really like V-power as much. Its a little more hesitant on v-power, with less pops and bangs.

1995 Import WRX will be 100ron, so Tesco 99 (Momentum) is better.

Normal unleaded isn`t good for the Imports.

V power all the way, not only a good fuel but has some extra additives that your engine will like. Personally you should get it mapped on vpower or tesco.

Why?? Its an Import so is already mapped for 100ron, so Tesco more suited.
Also to remap an early car you`ve got to get an ESL Daughterboard or standalone ecu, so imho best of staying with Tesco 99.
