Think it's up and down from what I've read on here mate. Think people's problems with them come from reliability issues on build quality? With that said I have a stage 2 cg clutch fitted (already fitted when I bought the car) and it feels fine to me when on the power, doesn't slip at all, but it is a very heavy pedal which took some getting used to for me but that may just be the gti for you? I've never driven another one to compare pedl feelingDave |

The only one I've seen was a standard cheapo clutch with the cover painted red and a sticker on it. Personally I'd spend a bit more on something decent. What are you after exactly? ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

one thing ive seen of the guys using pressed covers on race cars is that they dont last if used over 7.5k particularly regularly.The covers swell under the centrifugal forces and crack around the bolts, not ideak when the covers need drilling out to fit the bigger bolts of the commonly used ttv flywheels. not limited to the cheaper units I believe too. so if you really want to make use of the power in an sc engine, bear that in mind. a turbo build tends to make power at lower rpm which will make things last longer. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Interesting you say that. I've a conventional cover plate and paddle clutch, however I'm pretty sure it's shagged, can't select gears or anything! It's around 4 years old and 6k. I'll be pulling the box off to inspect it soonish. ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

I think one of my international customers bought one of these, and it shat itself - but I can't find the email he sent me about it, and can't be sure it was the same one you've bought.Hopefully yours will be OK ________________________________________ Contact Details:rich@lynxpowerengineering.co.uk 07732 822546 |

Are you going high boost or super highboost? Because it's the torque that'll destroy it I personally wouldn't fit it and send back and get a helix mate? With the centrifugal supercharger it makes max bhp way up in the revs meaning it's going to get a beating at high rpm. If you can afford it I'd go helix? But if it works for you  ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

Super high boost is 8000 odd rpm I'm pretty sure,________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |
