FYI bolt-ons don't really work like that ... a lot of those parts are going to be making power at different points in the powerband, they will not all make power at the same point. So while you will be gaining 4 here, 2 there, overall you aren't going to be hitting +4, +2 at your peak. Good luck to you, but my guess is that you would have to factor in a better header than the Megan.
At the very least, with this setup, my midrange should absolutely crush most everyone else's

i am taking a break from the 230 race to work on the looks department. want to get some carbon fiber F1 mirrors, tint job, maybe a tube sub just to help out the Honda sound system. for now if i want to kick some ass, its only a 70mm bolt on away.

That ecu more than likely will add power but, not what your thinking. Your taking the the peak out put from the ecu and tacking it into peak hp. You can't think of adding mods as:
cat-back - 10hp
intake - 7hp
race pipe - 15hp
ecu - 10hp
headers 15
cat-back - 10hp
intake - 7hp
race pipe - 15hp
ecu - 10hp
headers 15
keep dreaming guys...

I really don't have any other N/A power mods to do (not going to mess around with ITBs). My next power mod will be something significant--either Inlinepro turbo kit or Comptech supercharger.
The ACT PP/Comptech flywheel will allow my S to accelerate faster, and also hold the "upcoming" power better.
The Spoon calipers/rotors will shave some unsprung weight from the front, and add a little bit better braking (and nice looks too).
The Mugen rear wing is more about looks, but will add some downforce on the rear.

Now, if you are buying them for the purpose they were created...you will enjoy that mod, if not love it. I love the clutch modulation in my car, as well as the much better and faster ability to rev match.
As for your other two choices...both of those are coming in my future as well. Actually I am in the process of repainting my calipers to black so the rears wont look off with spoon fronts. I know there is a "matched" paint for the rears that is being sold for $90, but personally...I think black will probably be ok on the rears, and if I don't like it, I'll deal with it then.
Mugen SS rear wing, Mugen SS exhaust, Mugen SS rear bumper...I like
I'm not completely decided on my front lip yet though, either an Amuse, or an AP2 front bumper with something on it, maybe OEM, maybe something different. And on 17" LE28s either bronze or gunmetal.

what throttle bodies are available that wont require me to port match my intake?
So to answer your question. No.
