see i knew the whole first page of replies would be just that i know the importance of a tune and its definetly at the top of the list but its not in the books right now as i havent found the right tuner and living here in the philippines i want to find the right tuner who can get me exactly what i want as i use the car to travel outside of the city there are also other factors i have to consider as i do live in a third world country such as quality of gas n watnot so the question remains how much hp is achievable wether it be lower or higher than stock with bolt ons?

I doubt anyone knows, b/c nobody does this.

Seriously, if your worried about gas quality, reliability of the car, etc...the last thing you want to be doing is putting all those mods in w/o a tune. If you can't find anyone local, you're WAY better off getting an e-tune from a reputable vendor than taking your chances with the setup you proposed...even if the tune is not exactly what you think you want or need.

If you don't want to get a tune, I'd limit the mods to a catback and that's about it. Maybe a full exhaust, but that's pushing it.

I'm failing to understand how a tune "isnt in the books" yet your mod list is easily $3-4000(unless its all ebay generic) worth of stuff.. you cant sacrifice another $400 for a tune to make sure your car doesnt grenade?!

get a tactrix, and do a remote tune from Tcomp... I'm sure if you spent enough time researching how to tune you could figure it out... but its best to not know how it works then to always worry about it. Money for peace of mind goes a long way for me.
