It is a remanufactured one dude, not actually an OEM.
Yes, it's remanufactured, which means that they took an OEM ECU, replaced anything that they felt was old, chipped it with hondata, and then put the cutout and OBD2a/b harness, and then added a hondata cover and sticker. You can consider it new but it starts with an OEM ecu.

The midrange gains were so so noticeable when I went out on a country road blast, very impressive to say no parts mechanical parts were changed.

Stock ECU isn't mappable without installing some kind of chip, i.e. Hondata, Chrome etc....in this case Hondata.
There are some dyno charts on here of EK9 B18C's, just look them up, think you have already seen Jimbob's one! Obviously there are gains to be made, especially in terms of torque.
I'm sure Will (EK9Turbo) will be able to help you give you a more comprehensive answer with regards to gains etc.
Stage 1 I would consider to be like you said, header/intake/exhaust, there are plenty of different options to choose from which shed different results! All depends on what your aims are in terms of power and budget....
