Don't need to have it re-mapped.....the colder air and the pressure difference will be sorted by your ECU
You won't see much difference in Performance but there will be a bigger safety margin as air temps increase.
Are you looking for an increase in power ??

it will be going for a remap, but might be 6 months down the line, do you think it might be better holding off fitting the parts till nearer remap time?
