Yeah the Wavetrac is silly money now. They used to be around the same price as the Quaife, so not sure what they're up to now with their pricing :surprised:

Being honest that was exactly what I was after! Clutch was a bit juddery pulling away to begin with but even after 150 miles is feeling much better. Another nail in the coffin for the TTRS kit after I’ve fitted the HELIX it is the description on the AKS website for the newly added TTRS clutch kit…worth a read! :grin: :grin:

With all the positive feedback on the TTRS clutch setup (check online on your favourite social media platforms) I think you'd be mad to fit anything else unless you are going for big torque (425++) and/or doing hard starts with it. No need to tolerate a heavy pedal for your average 2+ car.

AKS is clearly being a bit cheeky here. The reality of the TTRS setup is that it gets brilliant feedback from almost everyone that uses it and most people that bought Helix/Sachs etc in the past would be very happy with it. TTRS clutch is sold by lots of different places and you can buy parts yourself using dealers and parts lists online. It also doesn't need specialist kit to install and then explode to bits regardless like the RTS stuff. Fully built 500/500 motor running 1/4 miles then yes, you need something more substantial. But that is not the average TFSI tuning member...
AKS is brilliant by the way and I have used them a lot. Not knocking the company.

I'm happy with my Helix and will fit another when needed. The pedal with the TTRS kit is only slightly heavier than standard so my biggest concern is how long will it last for those up around 400 ft/lbs? I'm no expert on clutches but my simple mind struggles to see how it can have significantly more clamping force and it's not transmitted to the pedals weight? It'll be interesting to see where the TTRS kit is in a couple of years time when they start having some decent mileage put on them.
