Priority one should be getting clarification from previous owner about whether the car has been retuned for the mods or not, if so by whom. Then go speak to the workshop/tuner about the cars history. If you can't find out best to take it somewhere like Evo-R and get it on the dyno just to make sure everythings as it should be, before you start driving around...what tune the car is running & who tuned it are the sorts of things best confirmed before purchasing a car. The sorts of mods you say the car has/may have would have required some tuning, or at least a dyno run to make sure there's nothing abnormal, plus along with that there would've likely been a dyno printout.

How are you going to tune it with a stock ecu?

Would rather set it on fire than have 101 tune it.
