PM sent. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for your interest in our products.

 

The turbos are built to specs as researched by us and BorgWarner.

They are built for us by a reputable BorgWarner Authorized US based rebuilder using a mix our our parts and BorgWarner parts.

This kit has been extensively dyno, street, and track tested for durability. We have had zero issues with the turbo design and rebuilding process.

with all the extra hp, do we need to upgrade the stock clutch?

 

Yes, a Stg2 clutch will be needed.

We have the Sachs Stg2 with our LWFW installed.

The flywheel is not 100% necessary. Reason why I like it is simply for the downshifts. I could never get my timing right with the stock flywheel even coming down from higher speeds. When I blipped the throttle the revs just hung up there for too long. After the flywheel, the revs dropped quicker after the blip. The heel/toe became butter smooth.

Another benefit of the flywheel is the replaceable wear surface. These are aluminum flywheels with a steel face. The steel face is where the clutch makes contact. If you change your clutch down the road, there is no need to replace the flywheel. You just replace the surface! Can't do that with the OEM flywheel...

If you are a GT3 owner and you are reading this thread, the exact same kit is used in your car. No need for the over priced RS flywheel. This is the same weight and bolts right in. This is a MUST HAVE if you own a GT3. It should have either been an option or standard on all of the cars.

I have the Stg2 and I must admit that it feels like stock clutch and the lightweight flywheel seems to make blips much easier.

However there is A LOT of chattering. I mean quite a bit actually, but seems to go away after 2500RPM or so. At a red light I'm always holding the clutch down since it chatters so much. The peformance vs. comfort factor once again. The flywheel was very inexpensive IMO so we went for it. Do I regret it? Hard to say actually, my wife noticed right away and thought something was wrong with my car

 

What make you choose the clutch ? I'm running roughly 600Hp on my current car on the stock clutch without a single issue . The day I decide to jump to 700 Hp I know the clutch won't last .

 

Are the turbos stock turbos with bigger compressor wheels?

 

You have an email

 

Sorry for the lack of updates. The car is frighteningly fast on pump gas - just amazing! Full update to follow with more pics.

 

Awesome eclou!

Can't wait to hear your impressions! I got a ride with Mike in AWEs development car, violent and wonderfully insane are the terms that come to mind. How do the brakes feel? Still adeaquate? AWE has GTRs on theirs.

 

I haven't driven too much or hard yet <10 minutes. Want to break-in the turbos gently, need to retorque everything after a couple of heat cycles and then change the oil before running harder. I plan to make some 60-130 runs this weekend

 

Back at ya!

Thanks.
