JCW Clutch Slipping

It appears that after programming the ECU with the Manic Stage 2+ tune, my clutch is starting to slip. I have a 2013 JCW R56 with 13k miles. I rarely push the car, but noticed the slipping when doing a u-turn in 2nd gear and pushing it...clutch slipped. For those of you that have upgraded your clutch, which aftermarket clutch would you recommend. Thanks in advance.

That's a bummer. The OS Giken would be a huge upgrade and handle the power.

You sure it wasn't inside wheelspin that you were feeling? If the clutch is slipping in 2nd it would be certainly slipping in 5th/6th. Try some full throttle pulls on the highway in higher gears and see if it still slips.
