Question Clutches... which one?

I just recently purchased the Imagine Auto Stage II kit for my car (GIAC Flash ECU, Diverter Valves, Exhaust + Headers). Imagine Auto is awesome. Great customer service. Thanks Jeremy and Stephen for all your help! So far, I have only flashed my car (the parts haven't come in yet) and I must say, I felt a big difference. I had Ron from IPB-Autosport flash my car. It was my first time going there today and I must admit that I had an enjoyable/pleasant experience. I recommend people in Nor*Cal to go to him.

With just the ECU Flash, I feel the the clutch slipping in third and fourth gear.... at first I thought it was so much power that my tires couldn't grip (they are new Toyo T1R Proxes 315/25/ZR19) and were losing traction but I think it's actually the clutch slipping.

What clutch is recommended? I do one day plan to upgrade to k24 turbos/or better. What brand? flywheel? where? who has the best deal? Let me know guys thanks!!


God bless,

Bryant

Recently fitted the UMW (Kevin) LWFW & Sachs GT3RS clutch.....I see others on the forum have taken a similar path.

Get a full package from a reputable dealer/tuner. I have the UMW option. IA is great, Sharkster is great.

My mechanic was very pleased by the fact that what came was the full deal, all the small bolts and such were included. I think that "small stuff counts" attitude (which a number of tuners have on this forum) is the key.

I hate how these threads become my tuner is great use him threads. I am happy. Others are happy with their tuners. I want you to be happy with whomever you choose.

Good luck.
