How far can a custom map take an otherwise bog standard Ed30?

All I had fitted was an air filter (not a full intake, just a K&N panel filter), a GFB DV+ replacement diverter valve fitting and a cat-back Miltek exhaust (with R32 rear back box).
My girlfriend took hers to the same place, had virtually the same modifications applied (hers was a Pipercross filter and standard fitting Miltek exhaust) but she got 5 less BHP and 20 less torques. Only reason I could find was the slight difference in engines, mines a BWA whereas hers is a AXX.
In answer to your question of how much power you can expect to gain from just a re-map, if you tell yourself about 20% you'll struggle to be disappointed with any result. Mine saw a 33% increase but I still need to verify it with a second dyno run.
