Hi anybody know if you can get away with keeping the standard clutch in a fabia vrs 1.9pd after putting a 150pd turbo and front mount intercooler and remapping around to 200bhp 

 

Many Thanks 

Yes. It's not the power, it's the torque and how you drive the car that destroys the clutch prematurely.

 

if you get a high torque remap and you leave the car in 5th or 6th gear at 1200-1500rpm and floor the accelerator then the torque will rapidly wreck the clutch. If you drop down at least one gear and dial in 2000-2500rpm then it's much more sympathetic to the clutch. You have to drive it much more like a petrol and rev it out. If you get a good remap it will pull all the way to the redline anyway, so it's also much more satisfying than revving the standard car where the torque drops off and the car feels like it's slowing it's rate of acceleration.
