In the USA many people running big turbo TFSIs go with Southbend and they seem to do the job. Look on VW Vortex forum . JBS can order them for you I think.
Saw that already thanks....pretty much settled on a Spec 3+.Hi alex i see southbend stage 4 can handle 600+ ft lbs , what sort of problems are people having with them ? 2.0 TFSi Performance Clutch Stage 4: Extreme! - JBS
Loba also have reduced the price of the kit this month,so for those looking for a good uprated Sachs kit,it's well worth looking into.
Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster. I have a 2007 Jetta 2.0 TDi BKD 140 tuned to 230 BHP with a completely custom GT1749VA modified to Hybrid 1752, SACHS 5 PADDLE Clutch Disc, and SACHS DMF with stock pressure plate.
.......
I think that the SACHS DMF is the safer daily driver option, especially with SACHS Paddle Clutch Disc, and will take a mountain of abuse. I think that the uprated Single Mass Flywheel by SACHS would do little or no bother in the long run as a Daily driver, but I would be very skeptical about it as a daily driver, and more importantly vibrations, there is only one way to find out for sure, but I'm sure it would not let you down before taking a massive amount of abuse.
Hows it going S3Alex?
It should be noted that People talking about Solid and Single Mass Flywheels, there appears to be a distinct difference, and I think anyone going to power over 280 BHP, and depending on the RPM's one is going to be revving to should all be taken into account. I really think that if something did go badly wrong, the engine could be badly damaged, but have yet to see this happen. The other thing I have learned that tuning a diesel can be like a very temper mental child. They have to be watched at every turn about.
Do you think my Jetta got a hard enough life yet LOL? I'm looking at going above 300 BHP sometime this year all going well LOL....
From what i can see the Spec clutch is also a SMF set up it this correct ? and like Alex i have heard some not great reports on south bend clutches even though another comment i read above is correct a lot of american forums rave about them,
so basically now please help
