de-cat will add 1bhp at the most, get breathng mods such as inlet,manifold, full exhaust and de-cat he will be around the 100bhp mark, cams and remap will be around 115/120 bhp. it will be on the tail of 1.6 sports but imo its a waste of money as without cams etc it will still get beat

powerbox will make a difference mobby near top end but to get the most he will have to get a 4-2-1, the engine pulls better top end. i took my 4-2-1 off for a while and put the standard back on and it felt so slow.

full exhaust system, decat, power box, lightweight flywheel, set of cams and a remap will see you have a lot of fun...

Agreed 
TBH it's a bit of a pointless question - if it's for looks, easy (lowering), but performance it's usually a case of one thing benefiting another. So just doing one thing wouldn't make much of a dent.

Would suspension count for a performance mod?
If so, that.
