classic,de-catting and mapping

its a my00 sti ,the only other mod is a k+n panel filter and dv that i'm taking off tommorow.

Completely wrong I'm afraid.I wish people wouldn't post rubbish like "classics don't need a remap". Standard uk classics don't need one agreed (but would benefit from one). No Sti's were sold in the UK, excluding the P1 and the uk 22Bs -and any that made it here as imports need remapping if decatted.
A V6 Sti is a japanese import and is at risk even pre mapping as it's ecu will be expecting to drink 100ron fuel. Decatted it's very much at risk. Drive it off boost and run Vpower minimum,and preferably with NF Race octane booster as well until you do get it remapped.

Well I got it wrong as I admit I didn't see the STI part.
Just saw my00 and assumed UK as I don't tend to associate later classics as imports, because I don't see many.
But another assumption I would have also made, is that anyone with an import would have had modifactions to ensure its safe to run on UK fuel.
