Hey, i know this question was probably already asked but i cant seem to find a good answer. I have an 98 TDI with tranny in my mk2. I need to get a new clutch kit to andle the power of my moter. Im aiming for 180-200hp with VNT, injectors and 11mm pomp. So what compagnie ? kit ? would you recommend ?
Need your input.
Thanks
Alex
Seems good, but some people say that a lightend flywheel is not good for a TDI engine, is that true ?
I would not got with stock VR6 clutch or the lightened flywheel. I have one in my MK2 with a modded TDI its not holding up at all. Thats with snudded snow tire that don't hook up at all.
So I would skip this step and go with something stronger. I'm going to use a south bend stage 2 or 3. They seem to be very good quality and are priced pretty good too.

What are you pushing for HP / Tq? I would think this setup would be good to at least 200hp. It says it is rated for up to 300ftlbs of tq.
I haven't dynoed it yet, its snotty though.
With a gas engine, it'll hold 300lb/ft+ no probem, the torque hits so early in a TDI it just can't hold it. On paper it seems like it'll hold but you have to over clutch compared to a gas engine.
Its fine for really modded cars but anything with a larger turbo, nozzles, etc will overwhelm it.
