Title: Clutch Options
Post by: boosted_diesel_84 on February 13, 2008, 07:41:51 pm: hello, im currently building my 1.6TD, built pump, new ported turbo, ported head, PP DP, and intake ( have not ordered intake yet) new bottom end, FMIC, head studs, GTD nozzles,etc and im trying to find a good clutch, a stock turbo diesel clutch was lasting me about a year between changes, and this is with lots of launches, and drag races, and now that i should be making a few more ponies im trying to find a stronger clutch,

i have found one from 034 motorsport, they are big audi tuners if you have not heard of them, and they have stage 1-5 for our cars, has anyone bought a clutch from them, or one like this? did you like it? any complaints? or what clutch would be good to hold more power and have a long life. thanks for any help!

Are the stage 5's road legal? Not that anyone would ever know but some clutchs are pure ingaguement and arent good at all for inchin along in rush hour toronto traffic...

That site looks really interesting..
