Do not fall foul of the free maps that are hanging around the interwebs, 95% are poorly written, corrupted or dangerous. Best case scenario you'll get a smoky map that only makes 115bhp and doesn't like cold starts, worst case you'll brick your ecu (this has happened to people on this forum, not just fear-mongering). For the sake of ~£50 get a proper map sorted.
Also worth mentioning that some knowledgeable types discourage the use of K&N filters on turbo engines in particular as they do not offer the same levels of filtration as a standard paper element, especially if not kept well maintained. Someone might be able to provide a couple of links on this..? I know i've read a few articles along these lines, but seems I didn't save the links.
