Default Is my engine safe? (sti v3)

Got myself a really tidy sti v3 typer yesterday. The guy I bought it off has always ran the car on bp ultimate and nf octane booster. It has and H&S bell mouth downpipe and trust exhaust system, other than that its standard.

My question is, is it safe to run such a free flowing system with no ecu mapping?

ps bp ultimate is all we can get where I live, cant get optimax for love nor money..I have about 2 bottles of nf left and Im quite content on using it every fill..

Cheers

sti 3 import should be fine on standard ecu even with a 3" straight through exhaust and induction kit but would run better after a remap 'more power and better, safer fueling'

If your budget will allow you then get a remap, not just for fuel safety, but to unleash you some extra performance too..

Great choice by the way, view my profile.........
