What will help if you remap your 328?
If you mean "do I need a remap to make my 328 quicker on trackdays" then I would say upgrading anything engine wise is last on the list for preparing any car for the track.
If you want to upgrade the car then always start with the brakes and suspension, if these aren't up to scratch then any engine modifications will be wasted.
Looking at your other posts you consider yourself a novice on trackdays so overall the best thing you can spend your money on is tuition, you'll gain more from it than any engine mod.

You have a reply in the thread you started about tyres.

I wouldnt re-map the 328, for the cost the gains are minimal.
