No, they are using their own part numbers. If you click spare parts and sports clutch parts on the left menu, there are NM ratings and clickable pics that are decent size...how good are your recognition skills? Thanks for the comparison pricing, BTW.

Stephen,

Rob K said it would, if not he will have to give me something else...he knows how touchy I am about this clutch issue..time will tell my friend.

Doc, I deleted it with the Tilton setup but now have gone back to the assisted, ie stock turbo setup.

The car is a real joy to drive now from the last clutch but as Stephen pointed out, will it last on a GT700 car..only time will tell.

I am a big fan of the dual mass FW, it makes the car so very pleasant to drive as it is my daily.

Justin,

I don't remember the parts cost - Stephen would know. Labor, I believe is a few hours, but mine is being done with a bunch of other stuff (motor out), so it is hard to tell.

Wow John, didn't realize you had started down the protomotive path. Congrats!

Thanks, Ari. Yea, it started out a little less ambitiuos, but once the motor was out everyone felt it was a good time to do the fuel system, which adds quite a bit. So Todd is writing a custom program for my set-up which is basically the Proto 700 with V-Flow instead of the twin cone filters over the intercoolers. Then I have the Blown 6 IC's and silicon hoses instead of the Proto IC's and hard plumbing. We are using the Protomotive MAF and tweaking the program (AFR ratios, etc.) to these components. I can't wait to try it out.

Sounds great John...is that the Hitachi MAF? Do you know if the signal is the same as the Bosch, or does the ecu/dme require adjustment for it?

Not sure, but for some reason I thought it was a mustang MAF. Sorry, I don't know about the ECU/MAF integration, I have left that part up to Todd and never asked.

I am doing similar to John (and doing a dual mass flywheel).
I also had a very "twitchy" ltwt flywheel in my 993TT and hated it.
(the noise did not bother me but the "on/off feeling did).
Good luck, I would think FVD has some great products also.

I have spoken with Kevin (UMW) about this same issue on several occasions. He told me that if the setup is well chosen, the feel of the stock system is damn near repeated.....no ON/OFF, even in 1st gear.

Of course now all you guys with high HP cars are going back to the dual mass.......so I'm TOTALLY F'ed up

I think Marty and I are clearly in the minority on this issue, but we have both "been there, done that" and for different reasons have chosen an alternative this time ...
