   Valeo and Luk are fine for both Vtr and Vts, iirc im sure they can handle up to 180bhp anyway so no need for an organic racing clutch or anything unless your pushing serious power on boooost

   What mods does it have then to make you question for a performance clutch over standard?

    As said go for a luk or valeo both will outlast any 1.4 engine.

    Don't waste your money.
    
    OEM will be more than capable.
    
    Furio is what, 75PS standard? The 180mm clutches can take about 160NM of torque before they start slipping.

    Tbh if you ant already, when you do the clutch might aswell put a 1.1 gearbox on it! Will pick up better.

    Ha ha you do realise that if a l.u.k clutch goes under warranty they pay for new parts and labour to replace?

    L.u.k are just as good if not better than valeo there is very little between them only the bearing in the l.u.k clutch kit is a little noisier.

    Not a fan of luk either
    
    And even if they are replaced under warranty, still have to do it twice at possible cost or time inconvenience
