Hey all

Went boost about 5-6 months ago and now its time to buy a new clutch.

1) Any suggestions as to what brand/model would suit my needs?

Im at about 275... might go up to 330-350 and my car will continue to be a DD.

2) Any DIY's out there? I tend to do my own work, just havent worked with the trany yet.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

 

competition clutch ftw! i love mine

while your changing the clutch, you should consider upgrading the flywheel and adding an lsd. and a stainless steal clutch line.

 

lol not everyone has money like htat

i just got the clutch and the clutch line, flywheel and LSD will have to come at another time... if ever.

 

wish i could afford the lsd... but cant right now. maybe in the future

 

what stage did you get dave?

 

i got stage 1 cus thats all i really needed, but its amazing, car feels like a different entity now im very impressed, and i bet the other stages are just as fun, especially with boost

oh and paul said that this clutch could handle mild boost, but if your gonna go crazy with boost (i think he said 8+ lbs) then you'd be better off with a 2 or 3. i recomend it. plus paul is great to deal with.

 

thanks for the info man... great help

 

i try

lemme know what you end up goin with.

 

Centerforce makes a DF clutch set fot the TC also: Centerforce Dual-Friction Clutch Set.

 

well, my tc is currently at p-tuning getting a stage 3 clutch by clutch masters, competition clutch 9.5 pound flywheel, and a trd lsd. i'll try to give you a review of how it feels when it's done. course, i gotta baby the clutch for 500 miles beforei can really wail on it.

 

What kind of turbo are you gonna get Drax?

 

he is getting turbozzz from honduh's

 

i'm am going to get a dezod stage 1 kit, with ceramic ball bearing turbo, aem standalone ecu, and maybe this new manifold that i've been hearing about that dezod is developing. something like an equal length tubular manifold. all with a cat'ed downpipe for sake of md emissions inspections.

but it is gonna be a while, i'm not boosting on a budget, but i am boosting on a college students income.

 

Im in the same boat. But to do a clutch install on a FWD you really need to know your way around your car. I'm probably going to end up taking mine somewhere.
