You'll have to have a slot in Car. All cars past 1980 something have to have a cat to pass the MOT

Right thought it`d fail. What you mean "slot". Saw garage yesterday he said a remap wouldnt make any difference, is he lazy or has he got point. Do i need to do all engine mods then at end do remap based on the engine mods i`v done?

Yes, it's best to do the relevant mods, then get a remap after.
