Default Should I Get This ECU Remapped , WRX Type RA Import

Hi People,

Well as the title is really,

Its a version 6 2000 W WRX Type RA, with 20,000 Miles, Should I get it remapped for UK Fuel to avoid engine "POP", or is there anything i can do to avoid this, aprt from OPTIMAX and a KNOCK LINK SENSOR,


Thanks

You could use octane booster with optimax to avoid making the engine go pop. Is the car a wrx type ra limited? if yes what number is your car?

I've installed Aquamist WI on the Sti5, you do need to remap to get the benefrits otherwise it merely runs a car rich which can cause just as much det as running lean.
