174 as standard, remap will add 4 to 6 bhp (as a pure guess)

guessing max 5% more bhp than stock, remapping on non-turbos is pretty much waste of money....
you may get slightly quicker throttle response but not much more than that....

nobody here will be able to tell you what power you got.... how'd we do that?  :laugh:

Any other modifications eg. air filter, exhaust, cams etc?

p.s. chipping / remapping is the same thing.

180 possibly. But until you get it on a dyno, it's just like predicting lottery numbers.
