Title: What's the most power you can run on a vr6 clutch ?
Post by: Charlieessex on 15 December 2011, 12:07

Thinking about the choice between the vr6 upgrade on my 1.8t or the stage 2 clutch on eBay, the eBay one will hold to 330bhp and 330 flb of torque will the vr6 set match this ??

VR6 is 250bhp and 300lbs torque AFAIK  :undecided:

If you need more can you not just run an uprated vr6 setup?

A Sachs or Luk will take more in anycase and a much better bet than a ebay clutch.
