do you need intake and exhaust upgrades to make it worth it?

You don't need upgrades to make a remap worthwhile, but if you are planning upgrades I'd do them before the remap, so the remap can take into account a freer flowing exhaust/induction system.

You'll get more BHP/£ from a remap than any other mod, even on a N/A petrol if you ask me, and its also one of the only mods that will increase torque low down as well as increase power top end, a lot of other mods will cause you to gain power at the top in exchange for torque at the bottom..
