MJ Vr6 79 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hey guy's n gals, Im gonna be changin my timing chain in a couple of weeks, Obviously the Gearbox is coming out so my lot at the garage said you may as well stick a new clutch inn. Ive been talking to my freind who has a Vr, he said the guy who owned the car previously put a Stage2 Clutch inn. His car is standard too, but with a 6branch and de-cat-No engine mods. Is it worth putting it in, as my car is standard, and the only that ill be changing also is manifold, and de-catting . .What are your verdicts?????????[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1182353885_4915_FT0_picture_082_small.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 You can get uprated ones but the VAG one is rated quite high. A lot of peeps run then with 300-350bhp with no problems Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Stick to stock VW clutch (its very good and some after market ones are a lot less reliable) unless you are going for big big power - i.e turbo. Link to post Share on other sites
