What power are you running to have to fit a stage 2 clutch?

don't know but std one started slipping after 3000miles

I have since worked out car was overboosting badly - had to get map smoothed out.

Sounds like it might have been contamination? A new standard clutch even with a remap should not slip  :undecided:

Still, a bargain for someone looking for a new clutch  :smiley:

i thought that when i got box removed but dry as a bone. Replaced it with stronger unit
and sent this one off to sachs for a check - Turned out ok.

The problem was the boosting being too strong. All sorted now. Just have a kit surplus to requirements
