None of those hardware upgrades are going to do much, absent an ecu upgrade.
-open air filter: minimal effect, with or without ecu upgrade (actually a detrimental effect if the air is coming from inside the engine compartment)
-forge bypass valve: no effect
-cobra intake: I assume this is in conjunction with the open air filter, see above
-3" exhaust and cat: minimal effect without ecu upgrade
-larger turbo: minimal benefit possible without ecu upgrade, has potential of making things worse due to mismatch between the ecu-expected response of the turbo and the actual response of the larger turbo
Bottom line is the ecu is critial in any serious performance upgrade, because it is responsible for controlling the engine.
