Remaps the most cost effective and most common mod for DCI's afaik, although i have heard mixed opinions on there reliability. seems to be luck of the draw tbh, you may not have any problems after a remap... or you may have many!

remap is good value but best srat with the biggest engine power wise and tune that as a remaped 65 is only 90 or so best which isn't far off what an 80 makses stock as it got an intercooler different boost demands and bigger injectros.
I've got a k9k704 since 2002 with about 179000km ( split by 1.6 and you'll get the miles) and no problems with the engine, turbo nor injectors. Mine is still stock.
Before the remapping you should install the dci 100bhp intercooler or a 320d intercooler from BMW. With the turbo boost increased to 1.2 bar (the same of an 80) and a well made remap you may expect something like 80 to 90 bhp (depending on your interess - graph lines or numbers).
You can also change the injectors (to the ones on the 80/100 bhp) and swap the turbo (something like a vnt15). You may be looking to ~100 to 110bhp. After this you'll have to re-enforce the clutch and start looking for a longer gearbox.
It may be easier just to swap for a dci 105 engine and gearbox (and the rest...). It would be kick @ss project and you would be looking at something like 140bhp just by remapping.
