Depends how far you want to go man. If it's just a simple swap and nothing else, then something like a custom st1 from rtech will see it running perfectly at similar levels to a st1 AUM (~205-210bhp)

If you're doing the swap for more power, the next step would be to add a 3'' Downpipe and decat, as well as a FMIC, then a custom st2 map will see you around 220-230bhp with considerably more midrange and torque.
