R55 questions regarding mods

As a new owner of R55 MCS. the car do have some minor problems but that soon to be sorted. I'm looking forward to getting into modifying her a bit.

What tuning options do I have? I live overseas. Tuning will have to match What I will do with my MCS. I am looking to have it done at one go.

Who's supporting this kind of tuning option? Tuning over OBD II and could be adjusted as i put more mods on to my car or a custom map based on what I have.

Mods on the to soon to be done list.
1. Custom 2.5" inch exhaust with catless dp
2. Custom intercooler/custom ic piping and custom intake
3. K04 from S3 inside the MCS k03 housings
4. Port and Polish the head and performance camshaft (could not find a machinist for this yet)

Thanks in advance for all of your input.

Dont forget to buy a flux compositor, that is where the real power comes from. Also hope you have at least 5k to spend on your mods.

flux compositor? You're right. Looking at the list and knowing the shops that would be doing 1-3 on the list I think I'm looking at about 2-3k without p&p head.

A little confused about you mean about custom but I've heard pretty good things about Evolve. They're out of the U.K

I know Evolve parts are nice. Being where I am importing cost would make something that you get for 300 dollars become 500 dollars because of import taxes and custom fees. Trusted me I tried importing parts for bike and it nearly double what i paid for. So my best route is to spend money on custom make exhaust and such and save the little bit of saving toward the tuning.
