You will be fine with the lower octane for the 215 PS Bugeye UK / Euro WRX.........the DENSO ECU will reduce the IAM to compensate. There will be a loss of performance but no effect on idle.
For Modded cars or the STi (all Jap cars as well) where the chances of det are higher then higher octane fuel is preferable as this is what the ECU will be expecting.

Yes you must use super unleaded because that is what the manufacurers state the car requires.
