Get a professional to do it and tell him/her not to go overboard.

I'd go for a basic remap, provided it's been fully serviced. Should get you around 270 bhp and a lot more torque.

How will it handle a remap tho the car has been well looked after and below average mileage for its age ..will the turbo and clutch handle the extra boost or a stage one remap ?

Both will cope easily with a full exhaust, front mount, diesel airbox conversion and stage 3 map. That'll give 310-330 bhp depending on dyno generosity and a wedge load of torque.
