I had a cat back and no re-map, pretty sure turbo back will require a re-map

cat back will be ok but decat will need remap.
do not run it on boost without a remap.

Eh? He's losing his cats. It would not have been fine. Decat = Remap. No questions.

Ok. Where's the best place to go for a remap in the Nottinghamshire area and roughly how much?
Would it be best to change plugs oil and fuel pump before?

Is there anything that would be a good mod to do before a remap.

Performance panel filter, uprated spark plugs and a Walbro/HRC 255lph fuel pump are the usual before a first remap, if your car is an STI

you can have a remap on a standard car with no mods whatsoever and gain a good 20bhp on standard but the common route is an exhaust and filter and maybe a fuel pump & decat depending on what power you are looking for.
