Now that 'TB Turbo's seem to have folded, can anyone recommend where to have the turbo on my Fiat 2.5TD serviced ?

I have just bought a motorvan with a Fiat 2.3 JTD, remapped by TB Turbos, the paper work says from 110 bhp to 137 bhp. First time out I noticed some clutch slip in fourth gear. Is squeezing 137 bhp too much? Should I have it rechipped to a lower setting? How much would that cost? Should I drive slower? Help!

I've been saying to friends for a while that if you up the power output you need a stronger clutch, it's obvious, mine was chipped before I got it, it now has a new clutch (best part of £800 inc a service) , the answer is change down a little sooner, I know it gives you the power not to have to, but it'll goose the clutch sooner or later if you keep the power on in top gear going up hill, normally it'd probably stall (pre chip) now you have the power but nowhere for it to go, so it fries the clutch.
This doesn't happen to vans with more power from the factory because they change the gear ratios and beef up all the transmission including the clutch, with the possible exception of Fiat.

Kev.
Not sure this is the case. If you have more power and torque you can pull a higher ratio, this actually would put more stress on the clutch than pulling a lower ratio.
