so im going to ring them monday to she why it only made 287.5
lve got GIAC from Kirkcadly as well. l will be going REVO later this year.
clutch will be ok with stage 1, anything more you want a sachs clucth kit, depeneding on where you are mate, I say FR&RTuning in bradford, west yorkshire. My mate has their own software on his s3 2.0T and he loves it. they also do revo software. They did my hybrid turbo, clutch, milltek and few other bits an bats on my 2.0tdi
how many €?Stage 1 killed my clutch and DMF, if you are thinking of mapping your S3 start saving for a new clutch and DMF. I recently had the Sachs Perfromance Clutch and a new LUK DMF installed - zero clutch slip, worth every penny.

if you remap your car and never drive it hard your clutch will be fine, if you drive the car hard it will not last. My car is an 07, it had never been tracked or down the quarter mile and my clutch started slipping after a few thousand miles of stage one map. Only 19000miles on the clock. Dont expect your clutch to last forever if you turn up your power.Now this is the problem! Some people say a stage 1 will be fine and the OEM clutch will handle the power and others say it won't! Who's right and who's wrong?
i payed 605how many ?
the reason i changed my clutch was because it could not hold the power above 3k rpm that was with stage one map and evoms intake. as i have mentioned my car is not tracked and never been launched. I have my old DMF and clutch sitting in my garage - the clutch disc is nearly into the rivets and the DMF has collapsed and has excessive movement. Its a total gamble as to how long your clucth will last running more power.depend how you drive mate and how the power is distributed throughout the rev range. If you drive sensibliy with ocasional harder driving you will be ok. If you floor it all the time then obviously you'l need to upgrade other parts to keep up. If you read Dave signature he has other mods so am guessing he wants alot more power hence the upgrades. stage 1 is called stage1 because it is made for standard setup on car or be safe and go for a map that offers 300bhp instead of 300+
i got mine from here - www.sachsperformance.com This is the german site, there is a UK site i would have used them if i had known about them. They were really helpful when i questioned them regarding my perfromance sachs clutch UK Site - www.sachs-boge.co.ukIt mostly depends on how you drivr though. If you slip the clutch a lot in normal driving such as when setting off , many hard starts and boot it a lot from low revs/ high gear your clutch will obv wear out v fast.
I used to a Bora PD130 with many mods and huge torque, but managed to get the original clutch to last 105 K miles! I hardly use ANY throttle when i set off until the clutch is fully engaged and never hold it on a slope with the throttle either, and when I drive hard i always shift down before accelerating. Even with high torque the load on the clutch in these situations is much less. At Accelerating from high revs in a lower gear puts hardly any strain on your clutch.
Where did u get the Sachs clutch from Dave?
Sounds like you dont have a clue what you are talking about!It seems alot of people suffering from clutch slip have actually got a knackered DMF. Running a Sachs cluth and LUK DMF will have no benefit over running a standard clutch with LUK DMF.
it made a difference to mine but not how i wanted with custom code the power comes in at 2k rpm and pulls smooth right to the red line , revo is not much different to standard to 4k then all power hits at once , some may like this i personally dont
