Greetings all!
I own a ‘19 Mk7.5 and just recently decided to go from stock to full stage 2.
I am running IE inlet, downpipe, intake & intercooler along with their 91 stage 2 tune.
Now, I am currently still running the stock clutch (car is at about 45,000km, original owner) and it’s actually holding up really well but I know that it’s inevitably going to fail. I do not dump the clutch from a dig, I let it engage and stomp it, nor do I stomp it in high gear at low rpm, ever.
So, with that said, I currently have a South Bend stage 2 daily clutch but am wondering if this clutch will hold up for tens of thousands of km with spirit driving but not total clutch abuse? Or should I just go stage 3 daily? I have heard that South Bends clutchs are underrated and can handle the torque over rated. I do not plan to add any more power to the car after this. Small mods but this is it.
Any advice would help! Thanks!
Also, feel free to chime in on any issues or simple supporting mods for Stage 2. Always like hearing opinions!
