Short answer is no. Fully decatting allows the engine to process way more air than it's fuelled for (even with the safeties of the factory ECU and PPP map) so as stated above, unless you run pretty much off boost, you'll be running the risk of serious engine damage due to the effects of running lean under load. Killing good old No. 3 piston due to it's position at the end of the fuel feed and closeness to the turbo/exhaust pipework being the probable area of destruction.
A full decat really has to be mapped in to safely maximise the engines performance.
I think thats what happened to my classic WRX, but was definately cause of my number 3 piston going onmy old Bugeye STI. Cost me a furtune
