Hiya,
Probably best holding back until you upgrade the turbo and supporting mods for 300+bhp, imho.
With a re-map you'll get a big improvement in mid-range torque, but the top-end will always be restricted by the td04, so you're never gonna see more than 280bhp anyway.
Boost threshold on my td04 went from 2500 to 3000rpm when I did mine. Took the 'edge' of the response but I suppose the improved mid-range flexibility kinda made up for it.
Cheers
