I didn't mean to imply you couldn't make any gains with bolt-ons with this car, just that the gains you will get aren't worth it IMO.
All told you are gonna spend around $1000 - $1250 for intake, exhaust, header, highflow cat midpipe, pulley, and some method of tuning and get ~30 WHP. Is that worth it? That not a question to you directly, but to everyone as a whole. To some people it will, to others it won't.

There is something to be said for driving a well tuned car at ANY horsepower level. It just is more fun to drive, and when you get on it, it goes. You ask yourself why didn't the damn thing COME this way?

Some piggybacks are better than others at dealing with "learning" ECUs but that is a very valid point.
