If oyu are planning future mods then don't bother until you have done them all. Otherwise your map will be useless.

well i am thinking of eventualy gettting more for it, ie full exhaust system, hopefuly mantzel etc but maybe not for a while so would it be worth it for a few months,

I priced up a re-map for mine with MSD. It was about 300 - 350 quid. An exhaust etc, will not really affect it, but a Mantzel will. Personally i'd leave it until last. If you map it, then change the inlet it's a waste of £300 because you'll need it re-done. Why do it twice when you can do it once 
It's up to you though.

i can see what your saying, just undecided what to do, just wanted somehting to give me a bit more power for the short term until the end of this year when i can really afford to start looking at mantzel and stuff like that, basically cheapish ideas that will give me a bit more power/noise for now,

A re-map isn't cheap especially if your doing it twice. Why not look at an exhaust manifold and de-cat? That'll only cost £200 ish. Then you have an extra £100. You couls upgrade your brakes to 2 litre ones and still have change.

Powerflow are hit and miss depending on who you go to as they are a franchise.. By exhaust, I meant manifold.

i wouldnt do anything to your car until you get an inlet manifold, its the easiest way and cheapest way to instant 10-15 bhp increase, think a dbilas is 460 from regal autosport, unless you can get a second hand one.
