What was your new torque limit ? I was told the standard clutch assembly is good for 300 lb/ft but internet wisdom at the time suggested any 'chipping' would need something more substantial. My target chipping was going to be a claimed 180hp but probably nearer 160 given no other changes. I didn't do it in the end.

This seems to vary from car to car - some people report no difference, some report a slight chatter and some much louder. I wonder if this is related to the make of clutch/flywheel - mine came as an uprated Sachs kit. My friend's SEAT Ibiza 150 has the same kit and is silent.
