Do you know the part number mate?

It's a 2005 fabia vrs

Try Dark side developments too they offer good deals.

May be worth replacing the Flywheel too.

With the re-map I would recommend a stage 1 clutch kit. This is built to take 20% increase in power and wont slip like the a standard will once re-mapped.

20% increase on what? What's the actual torque figure that it's built for?

Sorry gac I posted this in another link...

I have been talking with our technical dept regarding the lbft figures - I have a background in petrol (Fords) so just getting to grips myself with the need for lbsft conversions with the TDi's

Our figures.

The stage 1 - Sports kit is good for around 330lbsft of torque

The stage 3 - Paddle kit is good for 420lbsft of torque - We think this is adequate for most cars, we supply tuning companies throughout the UK and Europe and work closely with their figures which suggest around 380-400lbsft of torque is a realistic figure for a stage 3 remapping on the 1.9 TDi's.The stage 3 offers about the same lbsft in the 5, 6 and 8 paddle, with less paddles allowing a more precise but aggressive gear change with the new 8 paddle plate providing a much smoother drive.

There is also a difference between sprung and rigid drive plates. With the more common rigid plates using a SMF driving can be quite harsh, this set up is more suited to track day use. However the newer sprung version will allow for a more natural 'daily drive' feel with the options of track day use. The sprung is only compatible at this time with the SMF and the 8 paddle is exclusive to this.

We are having a lot of feedback that other companies are quoting much higher figures but we like to be more conservative with our figures to enable us to give you a solid guarantee.

Some of our customers have had around 425lbsft of torque out of our kits but this can depend on a host of variables such as engine condition, driving style and the general mechanical state of the vehicle.

I hope this helps everyone out.
