tbh i doubt you need to do anything other than replace it with an OE spec unit* - you are not increasing the torque so there is no need to alter the type of clutch you have.

i am very wary of most the ebay specials out there that that offer an 'uprated' clutch when it is just a bog standard cheapo one with a fancy painted cover!

* to give some context to this the OE derv's came with 192lbsft from the factory after the 115 ecu update (only 177 before), but we regulary get up 250lbsft out of them before they start to slip.
