My Turbo with RS-Tuning/Cargraphic Powerkit

ORIGINAL: okellyt
................. it will, be noisier and harder to use round town (much easier to stall) - more for a toy, less for an everyday car.........

Nah! No problem for big boys. [:D]

If its a man's clutch you want try a triple plate sintered bronze with a dog box - now that is tricky in traffic! [8|]

I took the Turbo out this morning and tried to replicate the slipping clutch. Temperatures were between 5-7 degC. In 5th gear and below I couldnt get any slip no matter what I tried. In 6th, with full acceleration from 60mph with overboost (1.2 bar) on a flat motorway - nothing.

So it seems that only at 50mph in 6th gear do I get clutch slip. I can still smell the clutch from last week when I did it though!

So I'm not so sure I need a new clutch right now after all. I think if it starts slipping more often then a Sachs stage 2 clutch with the OEM dual-mass-flywheel will be required. If I was going to move to a single-mass-flywheel then I would upgrade right now as it would be a performance enhancement. But for just a functional upgrade, I think I can avoid 50mph 6th gear runs in cold temps for daily drives and stick with OEM

No worries then, mate. The clutch'll be fine. [:)]

Concentrate on McLarens instead - prams not motors that is! :ROFLMAO:
