Clutch
« on: October 22, 2014, 09:43:06 pm »
Hi guys,

Car is needing a clutch now that I actually have full boost.

Found this item on ebay saying its single mass flywheel and clutch (luk)

Would it be okay?

Who's the seller? If it's "Techniclutch", walk away  :laugh:

If your stage 1 or above, get a Helix organic as it's proven to handle 400+lb/ft and has great reviews on here  :happy2:

Thing is it'll be more expensive to buy a sh*t one and have to buy another clutch and 2 lots of labour charges. Unfortunately these cars aren't cheap to modify and some things are worth stretching to do it properly.

This ^^

Standard clutch will only slip again in time. You can get a Helix Organic from Awesome GTI for around £450.

I replaced my old eddy clutch and DMF at 40k at stage 1 made it slip. Replaced it with oem and was still going strong at 75k when I sold it. If your are going further than stage 1 you will need a little extra mate
