Standard clutch with a stage 1 map on an ed 30?

Mk.V GTI started in 2004. No need to find anything out. All data is already well known.
Clutch is specified at 350 Nm +10 % = 385 Nm. Same with ED30/Pirelli. If you run more
than this, you will need an uprated clutch, earlier or later.
BTW, you cannot specify a torque to a pressure plate, just for a pair of disc + pr. plate.
:wink:

My stage 1 ED30 has a new OEM clutch & DMF - is the DMF ok to use with an uprated clutch long term when going 2+?

The aggression of the torque curve is also a factor, I have tuned many cars on the dyno that have had slipping clutches when requesting a specified amount of torque during mapping that have had the slip issue resolved by altering the ramp of the torque curve, but still requesting the same peak torque.

Most likely - yes.

Agree. A more aggressive curve will cause the DMF to hit to the stop. With a DMF I'd prefer a smooth torque curve.
