Should I get a remap??
Im just in the process of buying a STi Type R (MY99)
I do quite a lot of miles and usually need to fill up every couple of days, so Im just concerned about being caught short IE running out of octane boost.
Is it worth getting it mapped for UK fuel, if so, will it have any impact on performance... improve it/make it worse?
Also, I notice its got an induction kit on it, would it be wise to replace the MAF just as a precaution and put the original airbox back on.. also, Knocklink and AFR monitor recommended?
Cheers

No need to replace the maf unless its faulty, I would however suggest a remap/ECU if it has an induction kit on it. You can have it remapped for UK fuel no problem and with the correct adjustments to boost level and air/fuel ratio you can actually gain performance rather than losing it.
Optionally you can just refit your OE airbox and monitor a knocklink.

Just spoken to John at ProSport, said they should be able to assist with the Knocklink, and gave me a price for the Tek3 as a back-up incase I dont get something sorted with the Apexi unit.
Cheers (again!)
