Im debating on whether on not to remap my tdi sport and just wanted some info from you guys. benefits / costs etc and enything id need additionally like bigger brakes maybe?

Don't debate, just do it! I can't think of a single argument for buying a VAG TDI (or TSI, TFSI etc) and not re-mapping it!!! Easier to drive, better throttle response, more flexible, often smoother, sometimes a bit better economy, oh, and maybe even a tad quicker too  :party:

May be worth upgrading to GTI brakes which isn't expensive but you don't need mega brakes for a sensibly driven road car. If you just stick to a stage 1 re-map then brakes and suspension will cope as standard, then just replace as money dictates unless bits wear out on the car anyway and you have an ideal excuse........ :happy2:

Do and die, and don't ask why?  :signLOL:

Seriously, I had my car remapped within the first three months since I had it new.  I wanted to let my car settle in for a thousand or two miles.

Boy, did it make a difference!!!  :driver:

I think with the TDis you can in some cases expect to get 15-20% more fuel economy in addition to torque gains....and it's all about torque!!!  :evilgrin:
