That's a fair bit to start with; You can see some more pictures and guides over on the Civinfo post (Or feel free to ask ) - I'll try to add more as I go.
Most recent addition was the Bluespark courtesy of Garethdj; Makes a big difference to the spool and total power; Seems more linear than the OE Map and has had me powering through many an overtake - Seems to lend new life to the upper gears, too - It's very quick up to 100 now; It's a shame I don't have a dragy or something to measure 70 - 100 times because I'd guess there's a number of seconds in it.
Hadn't planned to add more power TBH, being quite happy with the factory set up, but very glad now that I have - It does a good job of preserving the "spirit" of the original map, and it's still a great joy to whizz all the way up to redline, and hasn't yet presented any problems for the chassis (Other than 2nd gear having a fair bit of wheelspin now!) and the smooth roll-on of the spool makes the car seem even more drivable than it already was.
Future plans? With the outcomes from the BlueSpark, I'm now thinking of a sports cat, turbo blanket and perhaps an inlet pipe (Not in much of a hurry though!) - Mostly happy with where I am now (He says!)
