Stage 1 Re-Map, should I buy and fit a filter first?

As above:

Car is a standard 2005 GTi and I am thinking of going for a Stage 1 re-map in the near future probably at R-tech. Is it worth me fitting a Forge Twintake before I get the Re-map or after.

If I just get the Twintake and just run that without the re-map will i notice much improvement in performance?

sub39h:
if you're going for a custom remap with R-Tech it would be worthwhile to have the intake fitted first. they'll make sure the map is "prepared" for the better air flow the TwinTake will give the engine.

You would benefit more fitting a sports cat downpipe than an intake. The standard air filter will flow up to about 270bhp to 280bhp and a stage 1 map wouldnt be near that. If you fitted a downpipe you could go straight to stage 2 and have about 260bhp and a more driveable car.
