Default clutch slip

Wondered if anyone can advise me. I had my fabia vrs re-mapped to stage 1 yesterday at jbs in chesterfield, amazing performance but in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th i have noticed the clutch is slipping. Car has done 70k miles, is it time for a clutch upgrade?

Sounds like it. At 70k it may have been a little more worn, but some cars come away from stage 1 tuning with just a few hundred miles on the clock, and have the same clutch-slip issues.

9lb flywheel from SPEC, clutch rated to 560 lb/ft at the wheels from SPEC, imported via a mate of mine. £600 shipped, around a few hours to fit.

This is my recommendation, but perhaps something more subtle is better. Offerings from Sachs allow you to keep the DMF and have a good oem feeling clutch.
