Air Filter: $50
Thermostat: $100

Total: $3625 (shelf tune) or $3925 (dyno tune)

Cosworth 1.3 retail: $5250

Difference: $1625 or $1325

Benefits? Cosworth keeps your factory warranty, Doing it yourself keeps $1325+ in your pocket for other stuff.

I can see choosing either way. To some upgrading under warranty is a major factor/benefit. To others its meaningless.
You missed out the midpipe due to the different design for cosworth so that is another 500.
