Title: Remap advice needed!
Post by: gazzab91 on October 09, 2014, 07:47:06 pm: Im going to be taking the car down to rtech in the coming weeks for a stage 2+ remap

Probably a stupid suggestion but I was wondering if i could get away for a little while on the standard clutch.

Wonder how long it would last for with 350lb of torque!

Inevitably what clutch kit would you recommend on a budget that could cope with the added grunt

Cheers

As mentioned, contact Alex at AKSTuning about the Uprated Organic Helix clutch and get a new OEM DMF too while your at it.

But will be noisy and only necessary for bigger power applications or a car what sees alot of abuse
