Hi and welcome,
If you want to modify it, fit good tyres, good brakes and maybe lower it on springs or coilovers.
That is as far as you can go without pissing in the wind, I'm speaking from experience. Anything you want to spend on making it faster, I'd put in a savings account until you can...
I've not had it done, but know a bluefin map will be a generic map. I.e. Not tailored to your car.
This isn't a bad thing, especially if your car is standard, or near standard. You won't get any power (any noticeable power) due to the engine being naturally aspirated, but you may notice an...
I get exactly what you mean

I had a go in my mates old one, and I've been a passenger in a few... Although I've never driven one from cold. His wasn't cup packed but it was still firm and quite loud
I always feel like a dick asking passengers to 'please don't sit on the bolster when you get in'...'that's the bolster *points*'
Three and a half years now, it's flown by!
