The ecu was not remapped by prodrive, they basically asked STI to increase the knock correction. The P1 has the same ecu as STI5, which is mapped for 100 ron fuel but the P1 has broquets in the tank to increase the octane of uk fuel.
If you use this ecu in a UK car you will blow the engine due to the ecu running too much ignition advance.
