It's a 150 bud. How I find the map??? Thats an easy one! Outstanding, just a shame it only lasted a month on the standard clutch....

That £700 could of been spent on so many things.....oh well, least I can use the power now without shitting it everytime.

I do worry abotu the clutch but I guess as long as I dotn boot it all the time it should help prolong it.... I guess its the jump in NM that does it in... what clutch did you replace it with?

The SACHS kit from JBS. Rated at 300lb/ft (I think) but SACHS claim they ran 340lb/ft on it with no problems....

My car is roughly producing 300lb/ft so I think i'm pretty safe now. (resist the bigger turbo Chris!!!! )

 

[Molehill_Mike]

haha!

I've been done this route before with my Ibizas, I really don't want to start messing with Clutches etc etc... I just want a map that will make the power smoother, greater... and a more useable power band... is that too much to ask!! lol

Out of interest, how did you drive the car with your std clutch? Liek you stole it or just cruise?...

I drive cruisy style, I've only once thrashed my car like I'd nicked it and it was last week when I could see someone was in the wrong lane (trying to avoid a cue) and I gave it a royal spanking (but that was with new clutch in)

My old clutch slipped when the torque kicked in, dual-carridgeway, 40mph, boot it in 3rd and slip at 2100RPM ish.

Ah bugger...

We'll see, fingers crossed lol

Cheers!
