Don't remap until you have finished doing all the engine mods you are going to do. It will get expensive remapping it every time you change something.
Is your induction kit an enclosed one? If not get a cold air feed to it otherwise once your engine bay heats up, so will the air going into your engine and thus reduce power and throttle response.
Next mods to consider after sorting induction is exhaust. A good 4-2-1 manifold such as a Raceland or GMC, a decat and cat-back system such as a magnex or BTB will see you at about 130bhp. You still should be alright running without a remap at this point.
If you wish to go further then you need cams which is where it gets expensive as a remap by a reputable company such as chipwizards/jamsport will be required. Catcam 708's in conjuction with everyone else should see you with about 160bhp. After this it gets really expensive £ per bhp ratio.

alright mate, get some good suspension aswell if your after a good car. otherwise someone with a standard engine but sorted suspension could still be faster on the twisties.

Yep as williams said.
Before you go and spunk your cash on your engine consider brakes and suspension. And no not some greenstuff pads and a gmax kit, a proper setup. For a reasonable amount of money you could get Peugeot 306 GTI calipers and disks. For suspension Bilstein Sport dampers and H+R springs are highly reccomended. Also swapping bushes for polyeurethane items is worthwhile too especially as the old ones will probably be getting worn.
