The addition of the Apexi will allow the mapper to squeeze the most from the mods, and will allow you considerable freedom to modify later when you want more.

You are VERY lucky to live close to the best Apexi mapper in the UK
Call Andy at www.andyforrestperformance.com for supply and map by the best. Note his address!

lol @ KIPS! So true.

Back to your project:

Those mods will allow the engine to breath better, so air will pass the MAF faster too = a confused ecu.
You might run into probs such as fuel cut which is a Very Bad Problem which can be fixed by a Dawes unit cheaply (I think) but they are crude and nasty and hararous in the wrong hands.
This is why people fit Apexi units @ £700. Mind you, they come up second hand regularly too.
A re-map from Andy is about £150 I guess.
