Ah right.. so, like OEM+ type stuff...

I was just having a ponder, and thought I'd open it up to debate. Statements like "MK1 Fabia vRS can double it's power with some bolt on mods" are true... But it also includes a remap... So is a remap a bolt on? I'm not sure it is, as in most cases you can't take it back off that easily... But then.. if you don't keep the OEM parts, neither is a FMIC. Some maps can be taken on and off by the owner with the hand held units can't they.. so maybe they are indeed a bolt on? Or, does bolt on mean "off the shelf". That just makes its even less clear with maps though.. If this sinks, then fair enough.. but wondered what folk might think about the definition "bolt on".. is a custom exhaust bolt on? It's not "off the shelf"..

My car had done 90 odd K when the clutch went. This wasn't brought on by a remap, but it was brought on by a restoration of power as I'd had my turbo bearing changed. The car was so notably quicker post turbo fix that Shark had to check it was a factory map (it was). So, I'd say in your case yeah, the chances are pretty high that your clutch won't hold out for long post remap.
