with a change of turbo you will need a remap

where abouts are you ?

try david at APi (warwick) or Mark at Lateral Performance(watford ish) for a clutch
and try Bob Rawle(swindon) for the remap www.brdevelopments.com

as for insurance - have you told them about the bigger turbo ? it's more detectable than a tek3 remap

fuel wise - you will be getting more power and probably MPG by having it mapped , it will be mapped on whatever fuel is in it at the time,so stick to it. whether its V-power or 95RON

lots of cars have slight clutch judder when cold. Do a search for this, it's not necessarily a sign that the clutch is on the way out.
