Thanks guys, I think I will get it reduced to around 270lb I see if that makes much difference. Does anyone recommend a amount I should reduce it to with standard running gear?

I decided to get my Fabia vRS remapped today. When the guys at AMD had finished the remap/rolling road they said there is a bit of clutch slip at full throttle. They said the torque could be dialled down but it might still slip and recommended a new OEM clutch should resolve the issue. The remap gave me 173hp and 293lb torque, which seems about normal. Will a new OEM clutch handle this or should I ask them to drop the torque to 280lb or less? They seemed like a good bunch of guys so I don’t think they are taking the ****. My car has done 40K on the original clutch. Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers

Thanks guys, I won't bother with the intake so you've saved me £100

I’m going to remap my Fabia vRS so I checked with Seat on how much the PD160 intake pipe costs and they quoted £98! Everyone seems to say you must have the PD160 intake for a remap, but 98 quid! Does it make that much difference having the intake? From reading various forums it seems to give 5 more bhp and help reduce the smoke. Is that correct or is there more to it?

I’m sorry if you’ve all been through this a million times I just want to be clear that spending £98 on the intake isn’t a waste of money. Cheers
