Default ECUTEK, is it worth it?

I have an STI02 with the mods below, I was thinking to remap with ecutek, is it worth with my upgrades or I rather do it when I put in a bigger turbo?Would it make any difference now?
MODS:
-Fujitsubo downpipe and full exhaust
-Fujitsubo equal lenght headers and up pipe
-Apexi AVCR boost controller (set at 1.45 bar)
-Apexi SAFC
-Walbro 255 fuel pump
-HKS racing suction kit
-Turbo xs BOV
-APS big top mount intercooler

it would be worth it yes as im surprised your car hasnt gone pop already!!

Ditch the HKS filter (as they let far too much crap through), and turn the boost down a little!!!

^^^^ what he said, and for gawds sake, do it now!!!! Did you even have the cars fueling cheked with Det cans and a Wideband AFR guage? Also, if that's a VTA dump valve, ditch that for a recirc one too!^^^^

Oh, and I'm not too crazy about that APS intercooler either!!

I'd suggest "lucky barsteward" would be more appropriate!
