I haven't fitted one. But haven't seen that many positive stories about it, only negative.
I recon you will be better of with a OEM Valeo clutch.

Clutches handle torque, not bhp.

Was there not a thread a while back.that suggested the Alfa clutch was no better than a good quality standard? Right you are Test showed it holds less than the stock clutch so its common knowledge these days but still a favoured replacement for some reason.

Thanks Will Yeah it will be fine. They coupe with 300bhp fine and I ran mine on several 1/4 mile and track days back in the day running 315bhp on a stock clutch. Pull clutches like the ones fitted to the 20vt are a very strong clutch hence why so many vans use them. Not so much the clutch that you need to worry about more so the pressure plate.

ok guys, so what is the recommendation with someone who is running a fleamap with 269bhp and 266lb torque? do you think i should just get an uprated clutch or just stick to a valeo one?
