A re-map should be around £200/£300 depending where you take your car and who dose the mapping. Just make sure who ever dose your re-map has a good look at the car first to make sure its all good for a re-map.
Exhaust are around £350/£400 for a good cat back system like Milltek and personally i would keep the original air box and just put a good panel filter in like K&N or Pippercross around £35/£45.
Another good Mod would be a Forge 007P D.V priced around £85/£100
Hope this info helps
Thanks

£150 on induction kit is overkill and a waste of money imo, a £34 Pipercross air filter will just as good job.

Pip first lol, ive just bought a bailey dump valve for it, which im hoping will be a nice little mod for it, i was also told from the guy i bought the bailey from that the pippercross pannel filter would be a great idea. what sort of price should i be looking at for a miltek exhaust.

I tell everyone spend the money you have on getting the car running 100% spot in stock form, good spark plugs, uprate pcv, new maf, fuel filter ect... then get remap.
Lookforward to meeting you soon then
