The aim of tuning isnt to do with pocket size but how far you decide to go certainly is

Not a good move, generally Should have told her that a remap will actually improve MPG - which it will if you don't use the extra power

Obviously that is right but it doesnt contradict what I said it clarifies it.

A lot of people just start modding with no plan or thought of where they want to end up. They hunt for bolt on bits without too much thought as to if they are suitable.
Inevitably they will almost certainly throw money away as they will end upon uprating some parts twice. They will also probably not get the "best " from the mods

The best way (IMHO) is to sort out what you want , and this will determine what you need and therefore the cost- The aim determines the cost not the other way round

Your cash flow determines if or as OG said when you get there .
