Sports CAT are a waste of money i agree. On upgrading the clutch you should fit an uprated pessure plate first not the disc as it is the pressure plate which is the weakest link.

Thought that was friction disc was the same as the pressure plate (i.e the part with the five paddles and the pressure springs)

Sports Cat :censored: lol grrr, hmmm.

Why put a SMF in?

SEAT put a DMF on for a reason......

DMF`s have been known to self destruct when abused or put under a lot of strain. Another reason is that a DMF is very heavy compared to a SMF so with SMF an engine should be able to rev much quicker. I had a SMF in my last car and didn`t like it really, wish i had stayed with a DMF.

Yup i fell for the sports CAT scam - money down the drain indeed.

It was before the Milltek was on the market IIRC and the Blueflame full system only came with the sports CAT.

I was expecting Lloyd at Allards to remove it and decat my car when the hybrid was fitted, but he said that it was freeflowing enough as it was.
