Don't need a 104 program, just put it in, reset the ECU, drive for 15 minutes :-)
MTM is very aggressive when it comes to timing advancement w/ high octane fuel. Beware, may cause crack(race fuel) addiction, and become spendy!

Well, the motronic system by design will adjust ecu settings based on what it gets back from
its sensors, such as knock, egt, etc - MTM has setup their programs with a pretty aggressive timing advance, in that you'll make a good amount of power, if you're lucky enough to live in an area with good fuel. The chip is absolutely *sick* on 100+ octane fuel. I am not sure a race chip on your stock downpipes, etc would really benefit you due to the increased EGT temps that come with advanced timing - I could be wrong, since I do not know how much 'room' there is for anymore advanced timing. Like I said, MTM has it set pretty good, so the higher the octane of your fuel, the better it runs. I can only speak for the stg3 ecu. Just try 104 with your current chip, make sure to disconnect it, reconnect it - and do not do a throttle adaption.
