Title: Quick clutch question
Post by: craig_t on December 10, 2012, 07:33:24 pm

How much power/tourque is the standard gti clutch good for?? Is it the same clutch that's in ed30s??

It would take a lot of power alone to ruin the clutch ( S3 has 260bhp on the same clutch), its the torque that kills them  :sad1:

My Stg1 GTI is slipping the clutch and has 311lb/ft torque. Not sure on the exact figures it can handle but basically if you remap your car, expect your clutch to slip after a while

Yes, all S3's, Golf R, Ed30's have the same clutch

I'm Revo Stage 1 with 253 bhp & 301 lb/ft, and I've never had clutch slip.

My first mk5 was PDT stage 1 with 240bhp & 295 lb/ft, and no problems there either.  :confused:
