is it worth getting it remapped?
you will only get a noisy, slow car with the above mods, so people will know your car is slow as they can hear it is being driven hard. There is no way that you can get NOTICABLE power gains from your car without serious cash and modifications, even then there is no point unless you are in a certain 1600cc class for racing or similar. The best option by far is to leave it standard and prehaps spend money on decent tyres and brakes, this alone will make the car FAR more driveable and faster in the correct hands
