Clutch Upgrade?
I was just doing my daily day dreaming looking at all the upgrades from AWE, APR, etc. especially the new stage III from APR. After looking at the kit for the countless time I noticed it didn't mention anything about the stock clutch. Would it be able to handle the power gains? IMO I would expect some serious slippage from the clutch/flywheel, but thats coming from an S4 background where the clutch is one of the weakest parts of the car. I decided to try and find some type of clutch upgrade but no matter where I looked, I couldn't find anything. [:o]
Basically is there a flywheel and clutch upgrade for the A3? |

You know, I've never paid attention since I've got DSG, but you may try searching under GTI. There are a lot more of them out there and I'm sure there is more of an aftermarket demand for the GTI.

Does the GTI and A3 share the same tranny?

Just contact APR they will be able to answer all your questions since they were one of the first to upgrade the vw to a ko3 stage 3 turbo MT.

David at Eurocode in Torrance was talking about a shop he knows that will resurface the disk to hold the 400lb/tq mark. We talked about it seriously when I was very tempted to install a LSD. Unfortunately, the home building goes before mods, so that'll come a little later.
I haven't seen anybody offering an actual "kit" at this point. Let me know if you find one. Cheers! |

Well the way I'm looking at it is to do a oettinger and basic mod setup, or skip the visuals and go straight for the GT28. They would work out to be the same price. Mind you nothing is definite until this summer...
No word from APR yet, I hate they're customer service. |
