Guys, I need a little advice.

Since my 09 Turbo does not seem like it is going to sell for what I want. I may pull it off the market and just have some fun with it. Now, I don't want to get too carried away, but I need it to keep my interest for a while.

I am thinking that I want to install intercoolers, and an exhaust. Now, I know plenty of people here run and exhaust and a tune with no issues.

What my thoughts are...

Currently I have:
Softronic Tune
BMC Drop in Filter

I want to add:
Intercoolers
Catless Exhaust
Colder Plugs
Boost Hoses etc...

I am concerned that my clutch will not hold this power. ( Car has 3600 miles of me driving it... I am aggressive, but no launches, etc... ) At this point, pulling the motor is not what I wish to do, or have done. If my car will hold that power on a stock clutch, I will think of moving forward. If it will not, I think I am just going to move on. The rest of the car should be able to handle this mild bump in power... I guess the clutch is what holds me back for now.

What say you, oh wise Porsche Guru's

BTW, I did some searching, but did not find the answers I was looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you will need a stronger clutch plate as it won't take long for all that torque to slip the clutch.

That's not to say that you will not get away with it for a few more thousand miles!

 

Yea, those were my thoughts too. Upgrade to the Sachs Stage 2...

I have this kit in my car and have done between 20k - 25k miles on it with no issues. Speak to Rhonda tell her nick from U.K. Sent you and she will look after you or like you said a stronger plate will suffice!

Congrats on keeping the car and spending some more time having fun and the interest for additional upgrades. We can help you with the exhaust and each particular upgrade in need including the clutch.

 

Mike,

Give Switzer a call. They're in Ohio as well. Your lucky to have them so close to you. They warranty all their products as well! Goodluck with whatever you do. Any questions just shoot me a PM.

In short maybe it will hold initially, but sooner or later it will slip. If you go with Sachs 2.5 kit stick with OEM flywheel unless you like chatter. Get your coolant hoses welded/pinned while you're at it.

 

I've called switzer twice. Once on a GTR and once on this turbo. Never got a call back from them either time.

Reminded me of when I was at the lingenfelter booth at a show. I asked about my CTS-V and ZR1. To which I was brushed off.... Never used them, and don't think I'll use switzer either.

They must be too busy to talk to you

Seriously Mike I run an FVD catless muffler, FVD clutch kit, FVD headers, FVD 66mm hybrid turbos, FVD LWFW and clutch kit and a set of aerospace coolers, it has transformed the car.

 

I have emailed switzer 2 times regarding a couple performance packages and all I ever got was an automated email saying I would hear something in 48 hours. 2 Weeks later still nothing.

 

With good gas and those mods it'll only be a matter of time before the stock clutch says no thanks;(

 

happy to help with the additional components , exhaust , clutch , everything you need I can help you with.

 

Just get a good exhaust and you be good to go....
