Default mods before a new ecu

hi new here not long since i got my first impreza. i have looked over the car and cant seem to see any mods to the ecu, it has a fmic and a full decat pipe on it i was just wandering if it is ok to run these on the standered ecu has i dont want to ***** up the engine with the wrong fueling

i ran the chassis n.o through as many web searches as i could, and it turns out its a 1995 jdm 260bhp wrx,

also would the fmic and decat make any more bhp?

please help as i realy dont want to blow it as its the best car iv ever owned

Personally I would not risk driving on boost with them mods on an unmapped car, get it mapped and it will run safe release some extra power

Try Simon @ Jolly green monster, he will travel to you and map the car. I think an apexi power fc would be ideal for your car but they are bit thin on the ground from 93-96 cars as they no longer in production.

You should be able to get an apexi 2nd hand for the half the price!! You could enquire about an esl daughterboard, which allows the standard ecu to be mapped.
