Hoping someone might be able to clarify what I need here – I've read all 47 pages of this thread carefully but remain more than a little confused. My clutch started slipping the day I went from JB4 to EQT OTS Stage 2 93oct tune (with full bolt-ons), so looking to upgrade – I'm at 97k miles, so will be replacing the flywheel also.
My main question is whether or not the DIY TTRS kit will actually work for me – I don't know what my car's torque figure is, but EQT's site suggests that a stock GTI on 91oct on their Stage 1 tune makes around 390lb/ft, so I'm guessing with their Stage 2 / 93oct tune, I'll want a clutch rated for decently over 400lb/ft... I've seen both 407lb/ft and 480lb/ft listed as the torque capacity for this DIY TTRS clutch, depending (I think?) on which pressure plate you get. Is that correct, that there is a version of this kit that can reliably hold 480lb/ft...?
Or, is the bottom line here that I need to get the RSR kit (480lb/ft) to make sure it holds? My understanding is that the TTRS kit would run me a little under $600 (excluding flywheel), and the RSR kit (including hardware and fluid service kit and excluding flywheel) would run me around $1300... so I'd be saving a huge amount if the TTRS kit will hold EQT Stage 2 93oct torque, but wasting $600 + labor if it doesn't and I have to replace it again in a few months...
My apologies for asking what may be very obvious questions here... I've found this thread almost as confusing as it is informative ? Massive thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
