Lightening a 210mm flywheel+16v 2.0 pressure plate questions - page 2 - IDI Engine - VWDiesel.net The IDI, TDI, and mTDI source.

• I have also been reading that many shops are now selling a generic 8v / 16v pressure plate.  I am guessing that this is not as strong as a standard 16v pressure plate.  Is there a way to tell the difference?  Are there any concern about mating the 210mm and the 16v pp to all 020's?

• Wow, nice job!  Thanks Rabbit79.
   Did you mill the groves into the face of the plate?  Thats a nice touch.  Probably helps dissapate some heat as well.

• The guy(s) at Scooter racing did all the work so I really don't know too much about it.  I bought it off eBay about 2 years ago.  It's going in with my 1.9 conversion.  Should help lighten up the rotating assembly nicely.

• Still looking for some recommendations for a strong 16v pressure plate. This will be a daily, but I do not mind a stiff clutch pedal.  I am undecided on the exact maker of the clutch I will be going with, but it will be an 8v clutch.    
  What have you had good and bad luck with?

• Can anyone tell me the difference between the stock 210mm Sachs 16v pressure plate w/ 8v disc and the 210mm Sachs Sport Tuned Stock 5 speed, 8V disc with 16V pressure plate.  :?:

• That was a good read.  I had been looking on the vortex, but must have missed it.
