08+ Lancer GTS 2.0 map starting point?

So I have a 08 EVO GSR and I found plenty of free modified maps that allow the user to tweak them a bit to make it work for their car, like the Gunzo map and a couple others. I uploaded one of these to my car and changed it a bit to make it work like I said, and it made a huge difference obviously.
My brother just got an 08 Lancer GTS 2.0, and I've been looking for a decent free upgraded map to start with for his car but I can't seem to find any. Most of the tunes are on sites that you have to pay for, and they only give the car another 10-15hp. I can't justify paying $450 for another 10hp. I'm not looking for something that will give it 30-40hp because I know that isn't possible, but has anyone been messing with it a little to make it a bit quicker and maybe even better on gas than it already is? Not looking for much here, just a safe starting point. I know there isn't much more power that we can pull out of the 2.0. There are a lot of smart guys on here so I know someone out there has something Thanks

There are no free maps. The n/a Lancers do not have the same potential as an evo and I would say that 95% of Lancer owners will use their car for what it was meant for, basically a family sedan. Because of this, no one really wants to put the time and effort into the n/a lancers.

The RPW or Works tune is pretty good. Otherwise u can go to a tuner to do a custom one. Also I suggest to only do it once he has a CAI and a full exhaust as then it will yield pretty good results. With all the tuning and aftermarket parts available (not going turbo) and coming (cams etc), u can expect about 150wkw out of the 4B11 without turning it into a race motor, but that also includes a light flyweel, pulley etc. Rather decent power.

Old post but any update? Once im able to spend the time and money to start all my mods, im going to stay fully N/A. I will also end up buying an Evo later, but keeping the GTS.
