They found out that the RSR clutch cannot handle Stage 2 Mk7 Golf R power.
Now the recommendation is to use the RSR hybrid kit.

Really? I spoke with someone at HStuning that has an IS38 GTI (same power as stage 2 golf R, right?). He said he's tested both extensively on the platform and had no issues with either. He even recommended the cheaper RSR if the car isn't gonna see much track time.

Still, if I'm to go this route, I'll probably grab the hybrid kit. Extra peace of mind for a couple hundred more with minimal difference in clutch feel. Seems like a win for even a DD IS38 GTI or stage 2 R.

I have the stage southbound endurance best decision of my life. worth every penny

What stage? Is the SMF annoying to deal with when just cruising around?

Who found this out? What is that level 380HP?

On my last dyno before my hybrid upgrade I was running damn near 400 wtq through the diy TTRS clutch without issues. No issues so far on the new turbo with the clutch.
