Well i believe the 130 and 150 clutch is the same (?), which tells me theres room for tolerance, but to what extent?
I think correct driving can make a standard clutch work fine, but then who wants to drive a remap correctly? :P  :evil:

they are the same - both 240mm diameter which means we can't fit the G60 / VR6 setup which is considerably cheaper  :sad:

Mine lasted 2K after it was first remapped  :lipsrsealed:

Standard clutch will take a remapped, it may wear out quicker than a upgraded one. may only last 80k instead of 100+
it only starts slipping once its worn down to the rivets.
Rhyso's must have been worn bad anyway and wouldn't have lasted much longer on a standard map
