I've finally decided to do a tune and down pipe for my 11 a3 sport back manual 20 k mi the claim is 100+ does anyone think it's gonna be too much for the clutch?

 

It probably will but look at the bright side - gives you a good reason to get a stage 2 or 3 clutch finally

 

And the list of other weak links in the 2.0 is long. Hope a stage 2 clutch isn't as stiff as my vettes twin disc

 

Southbend has some very good clutches that offer stage 2 and 3 with minimal pedal feel difference compared to the stock one. Check 'em out. I'm looking at the stage 2 Daily driver one for mine.

 

I've been jumping back and forth from a ram 10.5 and it's a so stiff the Audi seems like a tinker toy

 

I just bought the B8 S4 this year and I have the exact same problem. The clutch feel is really stiff compared to the A3. I personally like it because it provides you with the feeling the clutch can handle a lot (and it has so far) - but switching between cars frequently makes you wonder if the A3 clutch was made just to handle the bare minimum. My wife likes it of course but I feel that any increase in horse power will burn through the stock clutch and I have to upgrade that shortly after my first tune (which will happen before 2016).

 

The A3 doesn't even feel like it has a clutch. I doubt it will last after a upgrade.

 

After waiting 3 months and 2 shops for APR to write a tune I gave up and decided to go with Revo. All I can say is wow it's fantastic. Thank you Revo and Chicago performance in melrose park.Real Pros.
