Sach clutch fitted but....
Dandan:
Yes, I do drive a manual and she has done around 67 000 (very low milage in Finland since we do not sit in traffic so much as people in the UK might. The avarage for a 2005 car in here is around 100-150k). Overall the car seems to be in a very good condition. K03 upgrades around 40-50hp and 80nM mesured from the engine in stage 1? so that'd be like ~245hp?
The problem Im having with the REVO dealer is that his package only included reading errorcodes, installation and the basic setup. What I've red here many have recommended that every remap should be done to match the car perfectly since not every engine is the same?
The local shop offers dyno runs before and after (and they change the maps to stock in case you're taking your car to service). So the service seems a bit better. The company is called http://vtechtuning.co.uk/ so they should have some shops in the UK too? Has anyone here used their maps?
A little offtopic question: can you change the REVO chip back to stock by yourself without having to visit the shop to do it for you?
I'm also currently looking to buy a set of lowering springs (Main reason for getting em at this point is for the looks). Im very close to ordering. Just dont quite know if I want to lower my car with 20mm or 30mm tho the 30mm seems more tempting at the moment.
Thanks for the precious tips John_O

Can anybody confirm how much does the Sachs SMF weight? If it is LWFW (light weight flywheel), some chatter and noises are normal. If it is the same OE weight, the SMF conversion is the best thing that can happen to a VW. Trust me on this folks.

Well we took the gearbox and clutch pack out this weekend. (Sachs uprated clutch pack and SMF mentioned earlier in this tread) The SMF was not level to the clutch plate, only the outer 1/3 of the clutch plate had contact with the SMF, and as a resolt the SMF had been very hot, now i'm anxious to see what Sachs does :surprised:
and to the above the SMF is not lightweight, still you have to accept some chatter from the transmission with this clutch setup. :smiley:
dbcperformance:
corrct, that is given with the LWFW
fuscobal:
OEM has like 11kg and Sachs SMF 7.4Kg if I remember right !
