Apparently so! I asked this same question as ive just bought a Cupra TDi and the feedback was the remap is a must. Everybody said that a new clutch is needed to cope with the extra torque tho but I think this is just the TDi as the increase is so drastic! I found a good site that does most remaps for around £200 so dunno if its any good to you. Also if your in the yorkshire area they will come to you and do it.
www . remapscience . co.uk ive had to put gaps between the dots coz it wont let me post a url lol.
i can hight recommend a company called chipboost in yorkshire. google them. Im running there map on my FR 1.8t and its not to harsh but give power increase
Any uprated air filter will increase power and increase mpg, but if it`s just a replacement panel filter then you may not notice the difference. Mine seemed a little more responsive and free-revving after fitting a k+n panel filer into the standard airbox (130tdi) - but then I did fit a 160 intake at the same time.
Or do you mean a full induction kit (cone filter)? This would certainly make it louder, but I can`t comment on power increases as I`ve never fitted a full induction kit to any of my cars.
