Reflex Silver TDi Progress
Shoduchi:
The OEM clutch can safely handle the torque at higher RPMs. I think it's safer for the OEM turbo to just handle around 140 BHP. I'm no tuner or mechanic but that's what I've learned so far.
Of course there a lot of factors to take into account: peak boost, max EGT, etc. I wouldn't do much WOT accelerations before doing some logs to make sure it's running safely.
If your engine is a BKC/BXE like I guess, you can think about a Garrett GT1749VB for a reliable 170 BHP. For more you need to replace the injectors or fit bigger nozzles. I went for a Sachs Performance clutch with OEM dual mass flywheel, which is good enough for me and like OEM. AFAIK most people fit a single mass flywheel with a reinforced clutch.
Andy:
Mine is on 220bhp on the oem clutch with no slipping.

Yours is the 2.0L (not sure if PD140 or PD170), which has a much stronger clutch that is similar to the 1.9 TDI PD130 clutch, while ours is similar to the 1.9 TDI PD100. I had no idea of that difference before I bought mine...
Your map should be more progressive, I think this AMD map is too harsh on the clutch. It should give a good kick when boosting but both turbo and clutch will suffer from the increased demand.

Progress been a bit slow lately, not had a great deal of money after a holiday and a few months with no overtime, however a few new but small updates. Firstly the clutch is now sorted and not slipping any more so am happy with that. So decided to give the car a clean, Im by no means a detailer but was happy with the outcome!
Then got hold of some GTi skirts from TPS for circa 40 quid each plus vat, got them on the other day and really happy with them.
No a great photo but you get the idea, and finally I have had the boot struts upgraded as well as pins and bumper, just need the coding done on vcds to activate the boot pop mod!
And thats how we are sitting at the moment :happy2:

Really enjoyed reading this thread mate. You've done a lot of good work!
Hit me with some serious nostalgia when I saw the TD Pro Race's. Had some 1.2's on my very first car. A Renault Clio many years ago... Haha!
Looking great mate!
