Usualy when the clutch slips it usually is too much torque its quite normal after a remap. Does it only do in 5th to 6? try driving off in second does it slip, or on low down in 3rd. If it does your clutch cant handle the torque. Whats millage has your vehicle done? You would possibly need a uprated clutch.
The cheaper option is an light weight fly wheel that would stop the clutch slip but it will make the engine a lil louder.

Millteck systems are good, you aint gna be expecting big power it just helps the engine breathe better and help you achive the existing bhp more constant rather than adding extra bhp. Usually a good combination is intake and out take, If you are getting and Millteck get an carbonio CAI (cold air intake) they sound fantastic and again helps engine brathe better.

hope that helps.
