You can do all of those (bar the KO3-s conversion) w/o the need for another map. ;)

Ind. kits generally suffer from what's known as 'heatsoak'.  They get hotter than the OEM airbox due to the engine bay temps., & as colder air = more power, this is bad.  (On a cold day in winter, though, they MAY be better). ;)  IK's definitely sound better, though.

The OE airbox has plastic 'flaps' left inside it from the moulding process, so cutting these out & then smoothing the inner surface increases the airflow efficiency.

The R32 DSG intake is bigger than the stock item, allowing more air to be drawn into the engine = more power.

TIP = Turbo Inlet Pipe.  These don't bend on heavy load from re-mapped cars like the OEM item does.
