You have a PM.
With regard to whats different - the clip design that secures the cable to the shifter arms has changed, and some other little things with how the shifter arm connects to the centre pivot shaft.

It's as Kev at Revo says: Each one of us needs to draw our own line in the sand and not step over it.

The problem is that a line in the sand is easy to rub out and place further down the line. My initial intention was for a Revo Stage 1 remap and a Forge DV to be sensible and safe... now I'm on Revo Stage 2+ and yesterday found myself looking at G2871R turbos :surprised: :surprised: and Revo Stage 3... I'm not going to go there though as I don't want to start messing with the internal engine parts - its Karl's fault as he spoke to me about the S3 that had the conversion done at Santa Pod and was getting sub-12s 1/4 mile times :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

He got a 12.7 in the end mate.. I think that a sub 12 second run is possible with that car though, its mental fast! Though I was going to be the first in the UK to go big turbo DSG lol..

The organic clutch plate is a large plate.. It looks like this..

This is a paddle clutch

The advantage of a paddle plate over an organic drive plate is that the clamping force is higher due to the smaller surface area. The downside is that it makes the engagement pretty sudden.
