Wouldn't go for a cone filter they are worse for power and can damage the maf.

keep it on topic guys
the OP is asking about HDI not XUD
Decat could be free depending how good you are with spanners (remove and smash the guts out the box)
Disable EGR free but ideally needs to be blanked off (could be free)
Don't touch the air filter other than replacing the filter for a clean one
service the car with good quality oil replace the fuel filter/clean up the Brakes make sure there not sticking
maybe change the gear linkages if there's a lot of slop
the list then tends to get more expensive
so depends what you call cheap

As has been said, K&N filters or any other oiled filter aren't any good for the HDi, the oil on the filter element seems to be very good at killing mafs. The standard airbox is excellent, just buy a decent quality oem filter for it. My car actually felt noticeably slower with a top-end BMC CDA enclosed filter than it did with the standard airbox, so i can't imagine a £20 cone will do better.
Also, midbox to backbox conversion is a good idea for better exhaust flow. There's various threads in the guide section covering stuff like this.

Just in case you're thinking of it; don't use any free maps you can find around the internet or anywhere else, most will be awful, many will kill your ecu or engine.

Varies massively, depends who you go to. Price generally depends on the mapping company's reputation and facilities as a business, rather than the quality of the map itself.
