I don't think the NA is really worth messing with in all honesty. I bought mine with the ITB's already on but its not something I would have spent 3 grand on myself. If you can DIY fit its a very good mod for £1500 if you just fit the kit yourself as it does give a very noticeable increase in power and I also prefer the feeling of the cable throttle. Its also guaranteed power whereas some of the other mods such as 2.4 inlet have very hit an miss results.
Of course the only real power mod for the NA is a charger but I think you need deep pockets and a thorough approach to get reliable power out of them. Whats a price for a properly done charger conversion? 5k? If you were that bothered about straight line speed I would just buy a turbo.
Personally I think a lot of the money spent on mods would be better enjoyed spending it on trackdays. If you think your bored of the car get yourself on track and redefine what the limits of the car are.
This current car of mine being the most modded (previous 2 were more or less standard) I cant say I'm particularly enjoying the car more just because its got 4k of gear bolted onto it.

anything even an AFR graph , would soon be able to see what breathing improvement they have done.
No idea what AFR stands for, but here's a graph from an early adaptor, taken in second gear.
Graph is taken during the rolling test they after the new map was loaded.
No independant dyno test has been done so far as far as i know, so it's just indicative.
(full tullet, 2.4 inlet and the dutch remap)
In Metric I assume, that or its a sh** RR as the power and torque dont cross

I've put up a bit of a write up based on current experience through Peter's project on remapping the ECU.

Maybe it explains a bit why there can be big differences before and after a remap, depending on the engine modifications.
Tried to keep it as simple as possible, but it got long anyway..
