yes do it. Best mod I ever did. Not only will you not need to worry about octane booster any more but will probably give you + 20 BHP, more torque and much less lag

A lowly MY94 WRX wagon but with a TD05 and a remap and its probably just about as quick as yours (circa 280 BHP)

but you car could be wicked with a good remap. May as well get a fuel pump, but may not need a regulator (I don't).

Do it mate..... Your car will be better on fuel. It will feel quicker and you won't have to use octain booster again and not worry so much about the engine going bang!!

I got a RB5 WR and took my PPP ECU off and sold it, following a TEK2.5 remap. Best mod I ever did

You know it makes sense, so get on with it.

Hope this helps, Phill
