Hi Danny welcome to the forums.
With stock settings and a stage 1 remap you should see significant gains in HP and torque. If you go with a branded remap you won’t achieve the top end results but again works within a reasonable range and usually a respectable gain for performance/price. Then you come to custom maps which takes a minimum 2/3 hours and will be written for your car specifically which will give you the best performance and gains but usually at a higher price point.
In terms of reliability I’ll just say this, that any remap will exacerbate any weak points and also add further load to your car from your wheels all the way through your transmission and engine. That’s the risk you have to weigh in when doing this 👍🏻

Ps everything you’ve upgraded so far is brill, if you swap your intercooler to a bigger aftermarket one and continue with your IE high flow cat, stage 2 will bring out the best of the mods you’ve done 🙌🏻
