not a fan of the supersize. can stick. needs 2 x shims plus red spring minimum.
if on mafless ecu, atmos 50mm bov may be better choice. (wooshy tho)
I’m looking at clutch options what’s brands are there that are worth using I know of sachs but what else ?
Also I’d like to stay dmf if possible( and under 1k) as the smf I had was noises on idle so do I go go 4 puck, 6 puck, organic, Kevlar , twin plate the mind boggles at all the options
Also since both the 1.8t and vr6 are o2m gearboxes can I use the sacs 1.8t setup every seems to use on the bt builds ?
Yeah either do that or switch to the 02Q forks - you might as well when the box is split from the engineNo really thought about strengthening the box but did plan sorting the weak link n the selector fork , if I remember right it’s swapping the rivet for a bolt ?
Should be alright to re use unless they don't fit or damaged.Had I thought today should I be changing the wrist pin when changing the rods or are They reusable
I covered all this on my build thread when I blew the transfer boxNo really thought about strengthening the box but did plan sorting the weak link n the selector fork , if I remember right it’s swapping the rivet for a bolt ?
If you order the 02Q forks - it's plug and play - get gotta remember to get new input shaft sealCheers tuffty seems quite daunting taking that on, how much do you think someone would charge for that ?
Hopefully not far the need list is shorter than the got list , il get the last engine mount Friday, clutch, wastegate and 50mm bov the Friday after,then the only major expenses will be ecu and exhaust and be good to go will have to sort all the fab side of things then once engine is in the bay like downpipe, oil+water lines,fmic pipe work, oil cooler mounting And still need to do the f in wiring the mfsw (I know still not done it ) you have any joy with yours?
Yeah will be ignitron and a Maffless setup, I hate to think of the problems il have with getting mine up and running but that’s part of the fun well until it starts costing money haAwesome stuff! Look forward to reading your progress as you build and fit it all. You going ignitron Ecu? Seems the logical choice with your setup.
Mine.... don’t go there haha, I’m trying to see the lighter side of things. I will get it up and running again, well... I say “I” I mean Badger5 those guys are the best.

Anyone had a sintered clutch ? Are they any good?
Best clutch option I’ve come across without spending well over 1k is a Sachs sintered 6 puk disc with a Sachs pressure plate that is rated to740nm for £500 (dmf not included) and can be used with stock dmf or for extra £200 more than price of a stock one A Sachs 4kg lighter dmf, will the 4kg make much difference? Other option is a Sachs smf kit rated to 800nm for £900 but I’d don’t really want to go smf route
Eddie from club GTI fame used a std DMF, cover and sachs 4 Puck on his...

However I know Bill has had to use a sachs pressure plate on a couple of big turbo 1.8t's as the std cover plate wasn't quite enough..
The setup is on the edge I think at 450ftlbs (torque based on figures from Bill's dyno) with the std cover plate...

I don’t know, although I will be using the ignitron I’ve not really been looking at it’s full capabilities as I probably wouldn’t know how to use it anyway, like the map tweak it’s a good feature but I doubt il be able to use it without mucking it upNot seen that one before, interesting though. Not a bad price.... however, doesn’t the ignitron Ecu now support haldex control in the most recent firmware update?
