Clutch replacement worries

I'm confused. I need a clutch upgrade capable of handling the 318lbs/ft of re-map I've just had to my Leon FR TDI (now 187hp). The standard clutch fitted is slipping under heavy load. I believe its a dual mass flywheel fitted as standard. This prevents heavy vibrations from damaging the gearbox basically. Smoothes out the drive. Racing clutches, Single mass flywheels, help.....:headhurt:

Hi did you go with the SMF or DMF? im in a right mess here, iv got a sach organics clutch for my mk1 tdi leon cupra and its in garage right now but i dont have a flywheel! garage recommend SMF as itl handle the remap (188bhp 280lbt) better and ill be in same situation in 12 months with clutch slip if i put a new DMF in but some ppl on here say DMF is fine with under 300 torque. iv got a price for a standard seat DMF at £288 which i canget fri. should i go for this or get an uprated DMF (if there is 1) or go for SMF (do you know how much it is and where i can get 1?)

thanks for advice.
