Should be, i can't give a power quote really (10+bhp perhaps) but the turbo spools up quicker and most decats are about £100 and plenty to chose from (i went for an HKS one).
Possibly, more importantly, the flat four noise is louder

A full decat system will give you an instant 20-30 brake, you will notice it :-)
