Mods and stock clutch/plugs longevity survey
Hello Folks,
Would you guys with modified TT's mind answering these questions so that we can have a data base for those with stock TT's who would like to go this route
1)- Mileage at the time of modifications:
2)- What Tune & mods were done ( Name of the tuner/exhaust/turbos etc etc) :
3)- Power gains ( 480 HP to ? )
4)- How long did the stock clutch last :
5)- How long did the stock Plugs last:
6)- Any issues with the tune like CEL/idle issues etc etc
7)- Any reservations for Tune and Exhaust mods ?
Please cut and paste the questions before answering them and thanks for all your time

A word of advise: do the clutch and new plugs while they are flashing and installing the exhaust.
EVOMSit and Europipe made my clutch slip right away. The car had a couple thousand miles on it then. The clutch had to be upgraded in about a month. The car was drivable but it would slip it higher gears. Then the plugs had to be changed in a couple months. Otherwise, no CELs, no drone, no regrets.
Just do it all at once and save yourself time and money.

8Wrench... yes, it was enough. I went with what people call "stage 2.5" or "stage 3" clutch made by Sachs. Feels like the stock unit but engages a bit crisper.
Doc GTO... the plugs are made by Denso and I believe they are colder than stock. So far so good. It's been about 10k miles since they went in.

Edit: I found them on some of the vendors sites. Denso double platinum model # PK20PR-P8. Titan is close to me and are in stock!
